“Whites as Minority”: Digging into the Racialized Narratives of Demographic Change

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
And the majority of states are now majority minority






The following demographic shifts:

“According to the Census Bureau, 2013 marked the first year that a majority of US infants under the age of one were nonwhite.”
“The [US] government predicts that in 2030, immigration will overtake new births as the dominant driver of population growth.”
“About 15 years after that, America will phase into majority-minority status—for the first time in the nation’s history, non-Hispanic [sic] whites will no longer make up a majority of the population.”



In another recent article, this one in the Washington Post, “White, and in the minority,” Terence McCoy writes,

In a country where whites will lose majority status in about a quarter-century, and where research suggests that demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the United States, from immigration policy to welfare reform to the election of President Trump, the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country.


In quoting Richeson, Klein reveals the underlying anxiety for whites in a “browning America” to be the loss of dominant power, which cannot be mitigated with language, his central argument. Here the habits of white supremacy prevail over logic.

It is no big thing. The largest single group by far is the whites. The latinos. blacks and Asians are not working in concert to take over. there is no coordination. Nor do they have the same goals.
