We fight, We win
The U.S. Census Bureau projects that, by the middle of 2020, nonwhites will account for the majority of the nation’s 74 million children.
In the coming decades, people of color will have an increasing presence in all U.S. institutions, in higher education, the workforce and the electorate.
Americans are already seeing the consequences of these demographic shifts in higher education. Between 2009 and 2017, the number of white undergraduate students in the U.S. dropped by 1.7 million, while the number of Latino undergraduates rose by 1.1 million.
In addition, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections show that, between 2014 and 2024, the white share of the civilian labor force is declining, while the share of nonwhites is estimated to rise.
Furthermore, people of color will increasingly be part of the voter rolls and slates of political office seekers in the coming decades.
The older age of whites is mainly due to fewer white births than white deaths. Between July 2017 and July 2018, there were 0.88 white births in the U.S. for every 1 white death. In the case of Latinos, the ratio was 5 births for every 1 death.
Whites also have lower fertility rates than most other racial and ethnic groups.
The reality is that whites will not dominate demographically as they have throughout most of U.S. history, when they accounted for as much as 90% of the country’s population.
Roughly speaking, the share of the U.S. white population will be the same as it is now in Las Vegas, about 44%.
