Why white Americans are dying faster than they are being born

[Guno צְבִי]

The demographic shift is being driven by an aging cohort of white baby boomers who are beginning to die out, along with an across-the-board drop in fertility rates in the wake of the Great Recession in 2008. However, the U.S. is still growing overall thanks to a booming population of Latinos.

That’s according to a data brief by demographers Rogelio Saenz and Kenneth M. Johnson, who released their analysis through the University of Wisconsin’s Applied Population Lab. The original data was provided by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“In 10 years, we’re probably going to have much, much more of a diverse population,” Saenz told Global News on Thursday.


White Americans will eventually be outnumbered by non-whites, Saenz says.

The U.S. was more than 80 per cent white in 1950, with African-Americans comprising most of the remaining 20 per cent, Saenz said.

That started changing when the U.S. loosened its immigration policies in 1965.

Now, 61.3 per cent of the population is white, and estimated to drop to 47 per cent by 2050, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The year Trump was elected, more white Americans died than were born


Researchers with the Applied Population Lab at the University of Wisconsin at Madison were looking at birth and mortality data when they noticed that a tipping point had been reached: More white Americans died in 2016 than were born.

People are having fewer children. It is the responsible thing for the planet. At least someone is walking the walk.

You can take the entire population of the world, give them a 100 square foot section, and put them in the State of Texas. There is over 2 billion acres of arable land that is not being utilized for growing food. There are far greater concerns then overpopulation.

As to the greater topic, Latinoes are listing themselves as "White" so the idea of a declining White population is somewhat deceptive. Then too, to what degree do interracial marriages have an effect?

Ok, let's start relocating everybody from the middle east and Latin America to Texas and give them a 10X10 shanty. Texans will love that.

Now you are just being an ignorant ass. Is it possible to actually discuss a topic without the sarcasm?

BTW, you forgot Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa.

Ha ha ha, looka who's all environmentally conscious all of a sudden. America's approach seems to be to murder off and incarcerate more to offset the trendline. Globally as well.

the reason for the dramatic demographic shift/change is that the final planting is ripened in the field, much good fruit is harvested already and now wild Vines, weeds, nettles and thorns are taking over the field. It is time for final harvest and burning the wild weeds.
