News article states ';White Americans no longer a majority by 2042';. Why are they telling this false story?

The story says minorities (meaning all of them) will add up to more than whites. You should know by now how to decipher the typical media BSNews article states ';White Americans no longer a majority by 2042';. Why are they telling this false story?
Perhaps you need to begin to find your answer by looking up the word ';majority'; in the dictionary.





Then compare that definition to ';46 percent.';





After that, please consider that there is a portion of the population that is not white, black, or hispanic. In all likelihood, such persons will represent about 9% of the population by 2050. News article states ';White Americans no longer a majority by 2042';. Why are they telling this false story?
Sorry, but you are overreacting, how is this racist. Right now the US is about 60-65% white or more. The article was pointing out that by 2042 instead of 2050 whites would not make up over 50% of the pop . and combined the minority population would overshadow it. People overreeacting over this and calling it racist is why things in this country are still tense about racism.
It's weird and disturbing that Yahoo posts an article like this on their main page. They are trying to scare White people, cause alarm in them; this article will only create more racism. Everyone gets on the net, including crazy people and it might make White lunatics feel justified to murder non-Whites or commit other race hate crimes.
Why are they telling this false story?





-not only is it false, but it about 34 years in the future which is WAY to far to guess, unless the people like them incharge have a plan for it to do be so. Like I mean encouraging people(black africans and mulatto mexicans) from outsite the US to come here and have lots of sex so they will be the majority.





FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY that Hispanic people are white also. My dad is white and from ATLANTA, GA and my mom is a white Hispanic from Cuba. I guess you could say I am half hispanic, but ALL white. Being Hispanic is like being American, there is North America and South America, there are white people that live in the USA and black people, there are WHITE HISPANICS (with olive skin who get tans very easily like me) and MULATTO HISPANICS who have great great... grand parents LONG dead LONG ago that mixed with black/white people.





Barak Obama is more like a Mulatto Hispanic than he is a Black guy. I don't really see a black guy when I look at him, mixed mulato is all I really think.





I actually had to spend almost an hour with my dad and brother to convince my own 16 year old 4th cousin, (born in the usa with hispanic Cuban parents) THAT she is a white girl, a white hispanic girl. Sure she has dark brown hair and olive skin that has obviously got tanned a lot from going to the beach a lot in Florida, but so what, she is still a white girl. She kept on going on that she didn't think of herself as being white. Oh well, that's what she gets from being in a STUPID BRAIN WASHING SCHOOL that teaches everyone that HISPANIC is a race, WHICH ITS NOT!!!!





SOO, if you go by what I say and take OUT the white hispanic part of that Democrat Liberal calculation of them being in the minority AND PUT THEM in the majority, then that 2042 white % just went up a whole LOT from 46% HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
While I agree it is misleading...as we think majority to be the larger subgroup. I just looked up majority..It says ...';number more than half the total';

* try to cover your mouth if you are going to spit while you talk.


(Why do these racist scumbags lump every other ethinic group...)
In the Bible, there is a scripture that says that we should ';procreate and become many and fill the Earth.';





Believe me, that is a scripture that Hispanics have taken to heart. I myself have over 40 cousins now (born to my mother's family--my mother and 7 siblings; and my father and his 2 siblings). We don't play around on that scripture.








If it bothers you guys, you have the Irish--tell them to get to work.
I didn't get this either.





If whites are 46%, hispanics 30%, and blacks 15%, doesn't this still make whites the majority of any one race?





I guess they are saying all minorities as a whole will then be the majority.





Either way, confusing article.
According to population experts, third world countries are growing exponentially. By mid century many will immigrate to Europe and America and will far out number its native citizens. The worlds predominate religion will be Muslim dwarfing Judaism, Christianity and other religions.
The definition of ';a majority'; is greater than 50%.





Since they compose less than 50% they will not be a majority.





They WILL be a controlling minority or plurality. The distinction is that the other minorties could collectively outnumber them then (they can't now).
Once white Americans make up less than 50 percent of the population, we'll cease to be a majority and the country will become a plurality.
Seem accurate to me. All you have to do is look around and see all the latinos.





Why is it a story is a better question. It isn't like ';whites'; all act the same way.
A majority is anything over 50%, so 46% is not a majority. This is accurate.
Lol. I hadn't noticed that. I guess they add up all minorities which then puts them above.





It becomes whites vs. everybody else.





You know why they do that...to make white people nervous. Scare tactics.
Why do you think this is not true..I find it very believable. Our reproduction is dropping and Mexican and other Minorities have increased greatly.
Do the math, the point is whites will be out numbered by so called minorities by then, 46% is not 51% Chi, damn dude your logic as of late has been terrible
They will not have the majority, greater than 50%. They will have a plurality, largest group.
I see what you mean but you have to take these bs articles with a grain of salt. I thought we were suppose to have the flying car by now too.
You're right - we should stop keeping track of this **** altogether. Just gets the rednecks all upset that someone's popping out babies faster than them.
It stirs the Red State pot, so some nut job right winger will be egged-on to go out and murder an Innocent person with an legal hand gun like what happen yesterday in Arkansas.
Everybody just gotta keep ******' everybody til they're all the same color

misinformation sells more papers then the truth.
I first saw this on the KKK website. So I guess they feel that way about 'non-whites'. Sick.
I don't read things in the grocery checkout line.
Good point
There goes the neighborhood...
Why is lie?


i think there is true
The city I live in, is 98% Hispanic. So I honestly think their time line is way off.
This is not a false story. I respectfully and humbly disagree with you. Here is why and then please let me know your reaction to this.


The white population as a whole is declining. Think of the implications of that. I already see it in the place where I grew up. The BK I used to work at when I was in high school is now 100% hispanic. In the grocery stores in town, it's hard to find someone that speaks English. 20 years ago, it was hard to find a hispanic or a black. Whites were the overwhelming majority. It's not the case anymore. This could affect elections. This could affect this nation's priorities. It could affect a lot of things. I think that is the reason the media is jumping all over this story. Is it cause for alarm? I don't think so but I could see for maybe some people it could be. Maybe they are right to be concerned at the very least. This is my perspective. What is yours? Did you already think of this? Someone else asked this question already so I've had more time to think about it. But maybe I'm slow. I like to think of myself as trying to be thoughtful and careful. Those are my intentions. I take this from some friends that I admire. I consider them to be brilliant. People tell me that I'm highly intelligent but I think I'm not very smart.





edit: It does sound like a story that has the result of scaring white people but more likely it's to attract attention so the media can get more advertisers and to be able to charge more per advertisement. It's about the bottom line. Just be discerning like you obviously are.





edit: I see what you are saying now more clearer. I think so. You really can't and shouldn't lump other ethnicities together. You are right. I agree. I hope the media isn't doing that but I wouldn't put it past them. I think they took the story and tried to find an angle that was most sensational. I work with the press and I have to try to find angles in the stories I write to get them published. Many times they come back with, this isn't going to attract enough attention so we need a different angle. It comes down to attracting money from advertisers and to do that you need the audience. Greed is killing this country.





edit: Here's something that might interest you about a town where my parents live. They call the schools there a mini UN because of the heavy diversity. There are many languages spoken. It is costing a lot of money to deal with the problems. My parents' real estate taxes are sky high. Increasing diversity does have some costs so our taxes could go up in the future significantly. It's something to be aware of and prepared for. How, I have no idea. But this story really makes you have to think and discuss to get the point of it or what you think might be the point of it. That's what I've gained anyway. I hope maybe some of what I say here is helpful to you. You have helped me and I appreciate that.
