#1 the Founding Fathers had restricted citizenship to "free white persons" of "good moral character."

Too bad character was dropped alongside color.

#2 This really depends on how you define white, in my experience many Hispanics and Arabs who are marked as non-whites here consider themselves white.

#3 Color doesn't matter. Culture does. That is our problem as a nation is we've given up on the assimilation into our culture so now there is fragmentation and folks that don't feel they 'belong' to the culture. The culture that has led to success after success after success throughout our short time as a nation. Very sad, hopefully its not to late to restore once the last gasps of commie thought are excised in the next election.

#6 Does this mean we can finally do away with Affirmative Action???

Whimper. Didn't think so.

#7 In his June 1998 commencement address at Portland State, President Clinton affirmed it: "In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States."

Yeah, and Clinton should know better than anybody. He made damn sure of it by refusing to secure the border.

#8 Again, depends on what you mean by "white." If you mean that by 2041 there will be a shortage of non-Hispanic, non-Asian, and non-Semitic people who have blond/red hair, blue/green eyes, and light skin all at once... then sure. Frankly, there's never been a lot of us in the fist place.

I think the situation will be more like this: by 2041 60%-80% of the population will still be all or part "white," the better parts of boring old "white" culture will have endured (even if they are largely practiced by people who are not 100% "white"), 80%+ of the population won't care one way or the other, and Patrick Buchanan will still be a racist idiot at 105 who writes books about how WWII wasn't really the German's fault and doesn't like Israel.

#9 Demographic projections? This s**t again. Here's another player -

The Population Bomb was a best-selling book written by Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich (who was uncredited), in 1968.[1] It warned of the mass starvation of humans in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. Fears of a "population explosion" were widespread in the 1950s and 60s, but the book and its charismatic author brought the idea to an even wider audience.[2][3] The book has been criticized in recent decades for its alarmist tone and inaccurate predictions.

They used to stone false prophets. Now they get book deals, TV time, and Nobel prizes.

#10 I have to pick door #3. "our problem as a nation is we've given up on the assimilation". Melting pot of races is the way to go. Much better pool of genetic opportunities. Darwin and the Nazi pure race nuts only sow the seeds of their own demise. I always ask on the subject of evolution, how many believe they have a monkey in their family tree?. Wait, I take that back. I can think of several who might have.

#11 OF course to a cheering audience. Get a job. The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

#12 The mind is a terrible thing to waste. and a wasted mind is a terrible thing to use. My daughters are 1/4 Puerto Rican so are identified by the US Gubmint as Hispanic. I really don't care if whites will be in a minority.

#13 Race just seems to be a handy tool for govts to use as they like.
My brother is half Mexican, to look at us side by side, you'd say we were both white. Brown hair versus black, that's the only difference. But like deacon's daughters, he's "Hispanic" in the eyes of our govt. He's 50/50, so why does the Hispanic half always decide his ethnicity?
There are a myriad of reasons behind this I'm sure.
None of which I care to contemplate.

#14 He's 50/50

Isn't it fascinating that the same 'Left', that decried the formulas used by the 'evil' apartheid South African government to classify people by race, have no qualms about employing the same technique of administration.
