Hispanic
population will reach a tipping point within 30 years, according to
projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Whites
will reach a minority status in the year 2043, according to figures
released today.
The
most available indication of the political implications is the
victory of President Barack Hussein Obama in his bid for a second
term. The President received 78 percent of the non-white vote in his
race against Gov. Mitt Romney.
According
to the report, census officials noticed that a rising number of
persons chose to eschew traditional racial descriptions and
designated themselves as “multiracial” instead of white,
hispanic, black, or Asian.
Presently
at 7.5 million, the self-chosen “multiracial” designation is
expected to triple to 26.7 people by the year 2060.
