US sees ethnic minority baby boom


Immigrants have staged a series of mass protests in recent weeks

Nearly half of American children aged under five are from an ethnic minority, according to a new report from the US Census Bureau.
The latest figures show 45% of US pre-schoolers are non-white, with the Latino population growing the fastest.


Of the overall US population, one-third are now from an ethnic minority.
The report comes amid a series of huge immigrant demonstrations protesting against tough anti-immigration measures being considered by the US government.


Immigrant increase
In 2005 the minority population was 98 million, 33% of the 296.4 million people in the US, the census agency said.

These mid-decade numbers provide further evidence of the increasing diversity of our nation's population

US Census Bureau directorLatinos are the largest minority, now numbering 42.7 million, and the fastest growing, with a population increase rate of 3.3%, the figures show.


Of the 1.3 million more Latinos than when the figures were last gathered 500,000 were immigrants, the bureau said. Numbering 39.7 million, blacks form the second-largest minority, with a growth rate of 1.3%.
The Asian population of 14.4 million grew by 3%, an increase also driven by immigration, with 239,000 of the 421,000 new members having arrived from abroad. ]


American Indians and Alaska natives number 4.5 million and grew by 1%. Native Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders total 990,000, with a 1.5% growth rate.


Congress debate
With almost 67% of the overall population, non-Latino whites are still the largest group, but they have an older average age and much lower growth rate, increasing by just 500,000 in the period measured.


"These mid-decade numbers provide further evidence of the increasing diversity of our nation's population," Census Bureau director Louis Kincannon said.
Immigration, especially illegal immigration, has become a hot issue in recent weeks as Congress mulls a bill passed in the House of Representatives last year that includes provisions to criminalise illegal immigrants and bolster border security.


A bipartisan Senate bill, currently stalled, would provide illegal immigrants a path toward citizenship and a guest-worker programme long favoured by President George W Bush. But there is some way to go before the competing bills are reconciled and a compromise reached. A number of US politicians say illegal migrants should be sent home.


On 1 May more than a million US immigrants boycotted work or school and avoided spending money as a way of showing their worth to the economy.
About 11.5m illegal immigrants live in the US, many of them of Latino origin.

When ethnic minorities start complaining about how many other ethnic minorities are being let into the country then you know somethings wrong. White peple are clever, they'll just do what they've always done - develop undeveloped land and turn it into another cosmopolitan....they're all moving to Africa.....and we'll keep doing what we do....move into the place they just vacated

the same class and group of people who ruled this country 300, 200, and 100 years ago...are the same people running it today in 2006.....



old money european families....



the average white person.....is manipulated by this ruling class into thinking that society is set up to benefit THEM......and the average whites are pit against the other groups of people in competition for these resources.......to keep the elite rich and in power.....

even during slavery....only white men who owned property could vote....

white men who didn't own land made up the majority of whites.......and they weren't represented



it's all really a sham.....they keep whites in check by making them feel superior to the other groups of people....and patting them on the head...



similiar to how they had house negroes during slavery, or when the europeans pit one ethnic group against another when they colonized Africa......or when a pimp has a "bottom bitch" that he uses to control his other hos..

keep the ones under you fighting...and making you rich.....



Slowly but surely....average white person is starting to realize that the elite....view them with as much contempt as they view the other non elite groups.....the jig is up....



they've been manipulated all these years..and it's starting to sink in.....

^^^ What was all that about :?

For a start we are called ''minorities'' for a reason, on a broader worldwide scale non-white people out number white people quite a bit, I have the exact scale but its next door in my other room and thats just too far for me right now, it is a considerable number though, they only show the pale skinned people on the news and tend to leave out the dakrskinned peoples. Its a ployin the sence that it makes us feel grossly outnumbered and smaller than the white population when its only relative to their respective countries.

E.G.Turkish peoples... we see them in england and they look white skinned but its actually amazing how their skin changes colour when they go back to turkey, the same with Asians and many other races, when they go back to their homelands. People don't really pay attention to things like that, they look at us totally diffrently from the way we percive them as we only see them in their lightskinned state. I know that many Turkish/Arab people perm their hair as well. Some stay in doors when they come back from holiday cause they have to hide it from their white workfriends, ask a pale skinned Turkish/Arab person next time you talk to them. Same with the Kurds.

The population thing is a problem for Europeans because people in developing or '3rd world'nations don't have a work ethic system or even reject a work ethic system. Theres been a debate recently about how people (women) in England are having kids at 30+ and keeping economics in mind. The common saying,

''oh but we can't AFFORD kids right now''

Some saying that they want to have fun and live their lives and having a child would meansthey couldn't afford to do that.

The system, not to sound like a hyped up revolutionary on coffee, deems that people now have to

1. Be married to get a mortgage.

2. Both have to work to keep up payments.

3. Fund their children until they're 18 and even then pay for or back up student loans etc etc.

In respect to this, nations where there is no (evil) systemwith a work to survive ethic have more children because there, quite simply, is no system to abide by so ''poorer'' nations populations grow faster than (over) developed nations where people have children if they can afford them and the rich are only likely to have two to three rather than 10 - 12 as people used to/do in other countires. Childrenare seen as an expenditure.

Theres also the breakdown of communities to consider. People don't trust one another as they used to twenty years ago. More communities are mixed and diffrent languages spoken. The way it effects mostly white populations is that the trust factor breaks down... not so longago, people would have children and the community would look after them just as the parents would,

''oh theres little ameba, are you ok? wanna come round for tea with second ameba later??''

And the like. This type of community is more prevailant in estates and not so much middle class areas anymore as populations increase and villiages become towns with strangers passing through. My area is a prime example of this, in the last 4 years its boomed like no ones business, crime has hit the roof and the community has been shattered to an extent.

Theres been more news about people with large families in the papers recently whereas it wasnt long ago that having 12 kids was prehaps so common no one cared. Its why Kissenger did what he did and talked of what he talked of and it always gets the far right up and rising when it hits the news apparently they say that one day the whole of England will be mixed raceand even givea certain date which is BS especially as they are mixed race in the first place just mixed with an identity an englishman being part Roman, part Saxon/Nord, etc... the true English are said to be the Welsh cause they didn't mix too much... Off topic though.

Its the wests fear, we're entroaching on their nations big time and beating them at their own game. Ligali should make the news for what they do and as time goes on there'll be more industry minded people ready to secure themselves in the UK/US with banks that support their homelands and communities along with businesses, wont be long before we as Africans (and other peoples) stop asking for things like schools and start building things like schools etc etc... where certain nations have problems being stuck in tradition with streets that can't pave the way because they're too small (uk),developing nations won't have that problem and will boom like china is doing now...

They are in no danger at all. They are still considered the one percenters. And that is one percent of the people control 100% of the power and money. All of them are white. They'll just build taller walls around their exclusive neighborhoods. And purchase heavier artillery for their guards.

They're never in danger in that sence, they've always got those far right policies to vote for anyway and they have a right to do, its diffrent in the US than it is in the UK cause you guys have a right to the land... where we build in the UK stays under the Queens ownership.

Do you tihnk all of them are white or are there some Black cats sitting up there with them, happy to sit back and watch?

So you guys can never really own the land that you pruchase? If that's the case, it's really no different here. If we don't pay the taxes on land we bought and paid for the local county government will take possession over it. Or if some wealthy developer wants your land he will just have the local municipality claim eminent domain over peoples property and theywillusually be offered a below market value price and they have to move.


Nope.

It all belongs to queenie. It really is funny watching the English get riled up about this and that whe the land is always theirs in the first place, then again I'd get pissed if they moved to JA and started building pubs and fish and chip shops. I think we have more rights to the land than what you mentioned but a few friends of mine did get kicked out of their house/s to make way for a new road or something. Think thats council/government more than anything else though.

What I was on about is that in the US you guys are a PART of the country and have rights within it, mega diffrence in that over here in the UK we're considered part of ''Great'' Britain but as its their land and always will be we're not that included, everything being English. Not sure theres even a real British identity as it were.

An explanation of the roo tof this "white power" or white identity emergence....

white average person is understanding that they never had control or power..that the elite just used them....as a buffer group between them and the masses of people of color....
