Texas has become the fourth state to have a non-white majority population, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday, a trend driven by a surging number of Hispanics moving to the state, the AP's Alicia Caldwell is set to report late Wednesday night for Thursday newspapers. Excerpts follow... #

According to the population estimates based on the 2000 Census, about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities. In the 2000 Census, minorities made up about 47 percent of the population in the second-largest state.

Texas joins California, New Mexico and Hawaii as states with majority-minority populations — with Hispanics the largest group in every state but Hawaii, where it is Asian-Americans.

Five other states — Maryland, Mississippi, Georgia, New York and Arizona — aren't far behind, with about 40 percent minorities.

Public policy analysts said these states and the country as a whole need to bring minority education and professional achievement to the levels of whites. Otherwise, these areas risk becoming poorer and less competitive.

states with majority-minority populations

Contradiction in terms; the majority is the majority, the minority is the minority -but- politically correct. Orwell lives on.

SO...are there any figures on Affirmative Action claims now that the demographics have shifted? That is going to be "the thing" to watch.

Minority being, in this context, convenient shorthand for persons of non-European descent, of whom it is assumed a stacked deck is required in order to compete. I got into a big argument one time with a black-supremacist college girl simply for saying that I personally would find affirmative action insulting, if not downright degrading were I a recipient. She took up the standard communist boilerplate defense that "people of color are being oppressed world-wide" by the white majority. When I pointed out that whites are actually a small minority in the global community she broke my glasses. Quite an entertaining evening all around, I needed new glasses anyway...

Technically Caucasians are the majority, at about two-thirds of the world's population. However, that includes Asian Indians, who are darker-skinned Caucasians. Blacks only make up about six or seven percent of the world's population.

I know, I should be more specific, but I try to embed hints as to what I mean in surrounding text.

Two-thirds? That doesn't sound right, since China is so populous, but I'll check it out. Also, do you realise Nigeria has like 200 million people?

BTW Dear Sir My client wishes to buy your car for $200,000 as a birthday gift for his sick and dying daughter, but needs you to arrange shipping. My client wishes to pay you via a money order, but since he does not know how much shipping will be , he will send you a money order for $300,000. Could you please send any excess funds back to my client via Western Union? Please give me your home phone and address so we can make arrangements for the transaction.

Sincerely

I can see why they'd want to spend a couple hundred grand for Dak's Pacer, but they can have my Trabant when they pry my, cold, dead butt from the milk crate I use for a seat.
