WASHINGTON — Whites are now in the minority in nearly one in 10 U.S. counties. And that increased diversity, fueled by immigration and higher birth rates among blacks and Hispanics, is straining race relations and sparking a backlash against immigrants in many communities. "There's some culture shock," said Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington-based research agency. "But I think there is a momentum building, and it is going to continue." As of 2006, non-Hispanic whites made up less than half the population in 303 of the nation's 3,141 counties, according to figures the Census Bureau is releasing Thursday. Non-Hispanic whites were a minority in 262 counties in 2000, up from 183 in 1990. The Census Bureau's report has population estimates by race and ethnicity for every county in the nation. They are the first such estimates since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, scattering hundreds of thousands of people. The biggest changes in were in Orleans Parish, La., home to New Orleans. The share of non-Hispanic whites in Orleans Parish grew from 27 percent in 2005 to 34 percent in 2006, while the share of blacks dropped from about 68 percent to 59 percent. Many of the nation's biggest counties have long had large minority populations. But that diversity is now spreading to the suburbs and beyond, causing resentment in some areas. Many Latinos say they see it in the debate over illegal immigration. In northern Virginia, Teresita Jacinto said she feels less welcome today than when she first arrived 30 years ago, when she was one of few Hispanics in the area. "Not only are we feeling less welcome, we are feeling threatened," said Jacinto, a teacher in Woodbridge, Va., about 20 miles southwest of Washington. Woodbridge is part of Prince William County, which recently passed a resolution seeking to deny public services to illegal immigrants. Similar measures have been approved or considered in dozens of communities across the nation. In all, state lawmakers have introduced more than 1,400 measures related to immigration this year, the National Conference of State Legislatures says. Supporters say local laws are necessary because Congress has failed to crack down on the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. But many Hispanics legally in the U.S. say they feel targeted, too. "I think across the board all of us feel like we're not welcome," said Jacinto, who was born in the U.S. and volunteers for an advocacy group called Mexicans Without Borders. Prince William County has seen its Hispanic population more than double since 2000, to nearly 70,000 last year. Non-Hispanic whites account for a little more than half the population, down from about two-thirds in 2000. Greg Letiecq recently helped form a group to fight illegal immigration in northern Virginia, called Help Save Manassas. The group is named for a city surrounded by Prince William County. "It's not about ethnicity, it's not about race. It's about lawful behavior versus unlawful behavior," Letiecq said. Still, he complained that many newcomers eschew American culture in favor of their Latino heritage. "It's the folks who come in and try to maintain the culture of the country they came from," Letiecq said. "They don't seem to embrace the American culture, the English language, the social norms of American culture." Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006 — about a third of the population. By 2050, minorities will account for half of U.S. residents, according to Census Bureau projections. "I don't think Latinos or any other so-called minority group are seeking to make white people a minority," Jacinto said. "It's just a reality."

Why do you feel it so necessary to put down white people?
So don't feed them. They are more efficient at that, but not as efficient at care of their young; fewer would reach reproductive age if we did not feed them. Either way they are screwed -- either we stop feeding them, or they destroy that which feeds them -- although I would of course prefer the former. Those willing to feed them will die off, via attrition by old age or encounters with Sophisticated Brown Gentlemen. A new equilibrium will be reached.
Also, you will hear a burst of different tones before the music starts. We call these tones "The Soundburst Test™". This XDR quality control feature is repeatedly monitored throughout the duplication process by a high resolution scan. Only Capitol has "The Soundburst Test™" to verify faithful reproduction of the original master. In addition, this tape has been duplicated using Dolby HX Professional Headroom Extension, which does not require decoding in playback.

The first 11 cities on that list at the least are heavily black, so what is your point?
You're just a self hating white. Do you go out and get tanned? Funny, that isn't it, the desire of so many to achieve that bronzed look.

You may not give a crap but they do, very much so, and that's why they will be the majority in the end. This country is over anyway, for many reasons we will soon go into the junk-heap of history.

That is PC genetics, this theory was taught in schools before they really knew whether this was so or not, it was the popular way of thinking in the 1980s among the liberal sociologists who thought it sounded nice. Science has now discredited this with the advanced understanding of genetics.
I don't give a crap if a person is white, black, hispanic, Jewish or oriental, because the differences between the races are less significant than the differences between individuals of any given race. This thread is about the "white race" becoming a minority, as has happened to them countless times in past history. Just perhaps some of the "white" race find this disturbing, those of color would perhaps find it encouraging and or to their advantage. You come across as being of the latter which is your right.
Things were so much better then......

Ah yes and they learned well. Try strolling in Harlem any sunny day.
Actually things were better then. People with excessive melanin weren't afforded special status, unlike - every - illegal - Mexican - is - today.
When, where???? During my lifetime the opposite has been true.
So melanin deprived/challenged people wish to turn back the clock. LOL! Who do you think has been allowing the Mexicans in? Santa Claus? If whites are so happy with their skintone, why do so many spend so much time trying to achieve an epidermial state of excessive melanin, however temporary. Could it be melanin envy.
And this has what to do w/affirmative action for dark ones? Or is it that you really need all the government help you and your progeny can get?
Screw the government help, it's your daughters and sisters I'm after. Fact: one of the biggest beneficiaries of AA have been white women!

Perhaps if you remove the bone from your nose......
LOL! You're a regular standup. Now, are Jews white?
This racial etiquette has been corrected. White kids are now on the back of the bus thanks to guilt ridden whites who hold thugs and hucksters out as heroes.

Yep. There here to do the work.....blah, blah, blah.... Where were their kids? I'm guessing some govt. sponsored day care.

Graduating HS in '65, I grew up in a segregated town in north Texas: there were separate water fountains (White & Colored), restrooms, etc. But the black community had a theater, schools, churches, and all the other businesses as did the whites. They also had a mother and a father in the home, where the dad could work and support his family on one income, just like most whites. We had no cops in any of the schools, and the only "drugs" was the alcohol that bootleggers would run over from Dallas (to sell to both white and black alike). I'm sure that it wasn't perfect, but everyone seemed to get along much better then, than what the Great Society has given us today...

I graduated in '67 and isn't it funny that nothing has changed for the better. Today, despite a myriad of federal law, the races are separated and go to different schools, theaters and churches. To tell you the truth, I can’t understand a word the average urban black says. And their music – not the stuff we grew up with, but the new stuff – is angry, violent, hate filled swill. This is culture? It’s subhuman regression.
The hell they are!
Many, many are, particularly those of the ruling class and elites who take great pride in the 'purity' of their genealogy. They don't emigrate here, legally or illegally, but probably shop in Miami. The immigrants you currently see are pretty much the mixed bloods with many indigenous Indians among them.

Two drops of single malt Irish whiskey in a quart of drugstore whiskey does not make a fine Irish whiskey.
I can't name one area in our society where we're better off than we were 40+ years ago. Do we even have a culture, or a society, any longer?
San Antonio and the HUGE outlet mall in San Marcos get lots of peso love. And I guess will continue to do so as the dollar circles the fiscal drain.
The vast majority of those who come to this country from south of the border are indigenous peoples.
What do you mean by misnomered?

I'm not putting down white people except to the extent they have pretensions of being entitled to some kind of special status or recognition because of their whiteness.
