| Ilana Mercer: The Curious Case Of America's Waning Whites |

| [Daily Caller] An "aging white population [is] speeding [up] diversity," blared a headline on The Hill. Once again, a Fake News outlet has confused cause and effect, giving readers the impression that the two trends--whites dying-out and minorities thriving--are spontaneous and strictly parallel. The reverse is likely true. Corrected, The Hill headline should read: Could speeding up diversity contribute to a decline in the white population? We learn that "there are growing signs that the rate of change is increasing." Well of course. America welcomes well over 1 million, mostly non-white, immigrants a year. If white lives mattered at all to the liberal establishment, an inquiry would ensue: Is it possibility that an enormous influx of legal and illegal migrants over decades is playing a role in the decline of America’s founding population? (A similar, sad fate was visited on their predecessors, the Amerindians.) On the one hand, we have the drastic decline of America’s white population; on the other, a massive inpouring of minority immigrants, since 1965. A correlation between the two makes sense. A large, well-controlled national survey, conducted by Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, found that diversity immiserates and that the historic population is most affected. Perhaps protracted misery (associated with loss of community) hastens death. |

| #2 The numbers used for this article are probably about akin to Bureau of Labor Management employment numbers, which is to say not very accurate... |
