The number of white people in America has declined for the first time since 1790
[Just The News] The number of white people in the United States has dropped for the first time since 1790, according to new data from the 2020 Census.

Data from the 2020 count of people living in America shows that the country has become substantially more ethnically diverse, particularly in the under-18 category. Additionally, the country's population grew 7.4% in the last ten years, a slower rate than any decade since the 1930s.

The numbers indicate that growth in the American population for the last decade has been driven by minority populations. While whites still make up a little less than 58% of the American population, that figure dropped below 60% for the first time since the census-taking began.

The share of the white population was 63.7% in 2010, and is now 57.8%, the lowest on record. The actual number of non-Hispanic whites fell as well, shrinking from 196 million in 2010 to 191 million in 2020.

The director of race, ethnicity and outreach — Nicholas Jones — at the Population Division of the Census Bureau said, "The U.S. population is much more multiracial and much more racially and ethnically diverse than we measured in the past."

In more than half of American counties, more people died than were born during the last decade. Small counties — with populations of fewer than 50,000 — on average, lost population. Counties with populations greater than 100,000 mostly added to their numbers.

#2 ...Mormons don't seem to have a problem with keeping their numbers up. I guess if you are so in love with European socialism, it figures your population will follow the trend.

#4 Raising children requires a commitment many choose not to make.

Large government bureaucracies require large constituencies (payers), or else the ponzi schemes collapse.

#12 More Caucasians are calling themselves multi-racial. More who are multi-racial are picking a non-white identity. So I have to wonder how much has really changed.

From the New York Times article on the subject (via Ann Althouse):

Nearly 1 in 4 Americans now identify themselves as either Hispanic or Asian. The Black population grew by 6 percent, an increase that represented about a tenth of the country’s growth. Americans who identified as non-Hispanic and more than one race rose the fastest, jumping to 13.5 million from 6 million.

And in what appears to be a big shift in how Hispanics think of their racial identity, one third of Hispanics reported being more than one race, up from just 6 percent in 2010. That means that Hispanics are now nearly twice is likely to identify as multiracial than as white.

The New York Times article ended as follows:

Correction: Aug. 12, 2021
An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported the rate of decline of the non-Hispanic white population since 2010. It was 2.6 percent, not 8.6 percent.

#13 It seems more likely there is an increase in the non-white population instead of a decrease in the white population

#16 As 1/8 Cherokee, I used my heritage to obtain scholarships for my children. What’s not to like! They and I now classify as mixed or Native American.

#17 The fastest way to end white supremacy would be for all so-called "white" people to identify as black. When 0% of Americans are white, utopia will come to pass.
