Something like this has been predicted for decades. My high school biology teacher told me the future's population will primarily be mixed race.

 

[adamsapple]

*laughs in Mexican*

this special was the shit

What's the source ? name of the special please ?

 

[ERotIC]

There's a pun to be made here, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

If it breeds, it leads.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Why would one race grow faster than another?

African Americans have been at 12-13% of the population since the 50s. We're thrown in prison or killed at disproportional rates for the same crimes as other groups commit

White America aren't having as many kids to replace the aging folks because of the economy.

Are two examples

 

[ghostofsparta]

Eventually there will be less white people than another group of people. Then white people will be a minority.

Not in your life time. White is still by far the largest group

 

[PeskyToaster]

Sorry, read too much into your comment and thought "all the benefits" meant you think there were benefits to being a minority. There's a right-wing sentiment that it reminded me of.



From what I understand (myself, my family, and all the other mixed raced people I've met). Mixed raced people are less likely to think race means fuck all.

Yeah it was a joke about that because of the perception certain people have around things like affirmative action.

I thought it was the opposite, where successful families usually have less kids while lower class families have more kids.

 

[lightskintwin]

I wish I could say that there was no reason in specific. All three of my children are the product of a half-white parents that have dealt with the bullshit of being seen one way or another, and sometimes treated differently (and worse) by family and others simply because we were mixed. My feeling about being mixed is good is because I feel good as a mixed person and my wife does, too, and we try to imprint that on them so that they can more easily cope with whatever uncertainty they may face about themselves when people try to use that against them. They won't have the more racially divided makeup of family members that I did growing up, that's certain. It's got nothing to do with blending in as a white person and avoiding the systemic and basic societal issues of racism and bigotry as my kids could never really pass as white. They're going to deal with shit, and my oldest daughter already has.

Are you and and your wife both half white/asian? Because I didn't realize both of ya'll were mixed.

I'm probably wrong on the reason itself why white America are having less kids, I know studies are showing they're having less.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I'm half-white/half-Asian. She's half-Armenian/half-Turkish. We don't look white.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I too have brown skin

 

[Formless]

Didn't white supremacists love Asians ?

Would be ironically hilarious if they are the ones that erase pure whiteness from America xD

A bunch of male white supremacists have had Asian partners or wives (See this link and ctrl f "supremacist"). That subreddit is kinda crazy but also calls out some stuff that few people talk about.

 

[lightskintwin]

I'm half-white/half-Asian. She's half-Armenian/half-Turkish. We don't look white.

Ok, I didn't realize that. That's definitely an interesting mix. I'm actually a quarter Asian (Japanese) just like your kids.

 

[Stinkles]

hmmmmmmmm

you should elaborate

I believe he is very obviously making your earth "jokes"

 

[jon bones]

gonna be wild times for my mixed race babies

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

How long until Caucasians are a minority in the US?

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Mixed-race representing. (White/Filipino, don't look white at all and everyone assume I'm Hispanic lol)

I also have a Hispanic daughter and a black niece.

I may be biased but I think mixed-races are the best looking by far.

The more, the better.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How long until Caucasians are a minority in the US?

I remember it was projected to be 2050

Pretty much. There's no surprise here. Interesting nonetheless.

 

[superdeluxe]

Mixed race here. Half Asian/ half euro

Half Korean/ white. Have gotten mistaken as Hispanic/Chamorro/Samoan

Always get mistaken for Latino anytime I'm around Latino dominated areas in big cities like in Miami. It's funny how many people come up to me speaking Spanish and are surprised I don't speak it.

 

[Wandering Robot]

I'm mixed with a Filipino great-grandmother. I imagine I'd be a problem for those "white genocide" folks, then? :3c
At any rate, interesting demographics. I knew mixed people were growing at about that race, but as far as they both go, the more, the merrier.

 

[see5harp]

Praise lord jesus for half black half Korean women though for reals.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Probably different when you're rich and famous.

And Charlie Sheen father, Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez, had to change his name for a reason.

 

[BronsonLee]

I'M TAKIN OVER

 

[Fuchsdh]

Sadly people will unironically call this "white genocide."

Honestly my money is on certain east Asian groups becoming considered "white" and thus America remaining a majority white country for the foreseeable future.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I get the same treatment.

Growing up in Central Florida, I was always mistaken for being Puerto-Rican.

It doesn't help that I have coarse, dark brown hair and light skin lol.

 

[.JayZii]

Nah, they'll just change the definition.

Welcome to the club, light skinned asian people.

 

[Autodidact]

Not quite. Caucasians will become a plurality rather than a majority around 2050. At that time, no group will have the numbers for an outright majority, or 50% +1 of the population. Phrased another way, we'll become a majority-minority nation.

But of course the only people who care about being "outbred" (a nasty word to use in reference to other human beings) are disgusting white supremacists, anyway. It can be interesting to crunch the numbers, though.

 

[televator]

Mexicans already mixed tho. I got a little bit of almost every major "race" group.

Thank you. A lot of people misinterpret that and think that in 30 years there will be more black than white people. Nope, not happening in our lifetimes

 

[Trumplestiltskin]

Go on ahead. Most Caucasians have screwed up the planet ten-fold, so I'm fine if we wither away to the history books in a century or two.

Stupid shit like this has ruined this website's reputation.

Not without my say so

I get Puerto Rican or Dominican.

Jennifer Beals, the lead actress from the film Flashdance, was constantly mistaken for Puerto Rican, but she's mixed Half White/Black American.

Half Asian- Half White will be the US's new race.

You should go to Puerto Rico and put those assumptions to the test.

 

[Shredderi]

Yeah I remember reading about this. Melting pot indeed. See white supremacist perceive scandinavian and north-european countries as last bastions of whiteness in 2100

 

[MsKrisp]

Woo I contributed

Keep making Eurasian girls please. Seriously. Keep going. Please.

But how will they adapt to their agnostic socialist ways???

They'd sooner invade and try to make those countries New America

 

[Lum1n3s]

I'm Salvadoran and my girlfriend is Filipino, hope we have a baby together in the future to have a Salvapino baby.

 

[Shredderi]

I could see that.

 

[adamsapple]

Ali Wong - Baby Cobra

thanks.

 

[foodtaster]

if you're light skinned then you're white. period.

look at the discrepancy between dark skinned asians vs light skinned,
even light skinned blacks vs dark skinned, hispanics, indians, etc.

it's literally the color that matters.

You're not white, unless you look "white" for you to enjoy the benefits of "Whiteness".

Colorism within non white groups is definitely real but doesn't necessarily make them "White".

*laughs in african*

Up in yo clubs....

 

[Hubbl3]

Mexicans already mixed tho. I got a little bit of almost every major "race" group.

Same with black Americans (descendants of slaves)... although it's usually a black/white mix, but mixed still.

Dun, dun dun dun dun, dun, dun

"How does a..."

Sorry, it's all I hear when I think Puerto Rico.
