Other countries, like Brazil, Columbia, France, very rarely allow this information to come up in their media. Brazil is probably the most diverse country on the planet (80% of all African slaves wound up there)yet one would would never really know. They don't play the games that are played in the states.
On the other hand, if you don't allow people to be tracked by race (albeit never perfectly) you'd never have studies showing the disparity between whites and other races. I just finished a book called "Freakonomics" where the writers used data from birth certificates in California to measure the progress of the babies over a 15-year period. If you eliminate race from someone's profile then you'd also lose data such as this...
Ummm no. The other nonwhite groups would be seen in combination, so you
would need more than 50% to have a white majority.
Ok then, which group will have the majority in the US in 2050? Now please bear mind that I said group, and not as a whole. Now I was not talking about a simple majority. Back to you
Trust me, it won't matter much, because the European-Americans still won't become the minority by much and they will still make up the largest single racial/ethnic group. But, most of all, it won't matter because they will still hold the overwhelming political, economical, and social powers in North America and these are what really counts, not just the size of an ethnic population. South Africa with apartheid rule under the whites who only made up about 10% of its poulation but controlling paractically everything over the 90% non-whites is a perfect example. And the whites are still the richest and the most powerful in South Africa, today, even after apartheid.
while the major of the Caucasian working there ass off, people of Latin America hop the border and mass reproduced on usa soil.
If the majority of Cacasians in America really did work their asses off, as you think, there wouldn't be a mass influx of Latin Americans crossing the U.S. border, because there won't be enough works for these people who are willing to work much harder than the white Americans, for much less pay.
I do not think that would be the case. The US dollar (though weak as it is now) is still worth much more than most other currencies. They exchange that 1$ for however many (...insert currency type here....) and send it back home to feed their family for the day.
So, there is still plenty reason to sneak into the states for work.

Am I wrong?
Nope, you are not wrong - at least not completely. But, when there are employers in America willing to pay only what the illegal immigrant workers are willing to work for or consumers who are unwiiling to pay enough for products or services to support the livable wages for their fellow (legal) Americans, well, the results are predictable and Americans cannot have it both ways - not pay enough to their own that foreigners are willing to work for, then complain about the latter.

This is what I mean about reports like this not worth the paper they are written on. Koroke believes ,"people of Latin America hop the border and mass reproduced on usa soil.".
These kind of reports just spread fear in people. They are not worthy news. Just imagine how many more Koroke`s there are now in America because of this report.
I think what someone is trying to say is that all people not considered white are united.
There is the assumed alliance between Hispanics and Blacks, although it is not what many think it is, but I don't know where Orientals fit.
Heard a case where people in the south would tell a Chinese American soldier he could drink from the white fountain but the Japanese American could not. I guess that is what they are trying to say.
I tend to think that reports such as these were put out there to insight fear in many, which is dangerous if you think about it. Can you really imagine if pure whites got together now at this point in time?
It also is there to say hey, now that whites are nothing, racism will go away...........but, do you think people of different races will live happily ever after? Hell, people of different religions or langauges don't even get along.

Racist whites in USA (and there are quite a few closet-racists here in USA, trust me) will interpret the projection as a "wake up call" to further maintain their poltical and sociaoeconomical power by subtle means while trying to falsely comfort the minorities that they will be more empowered, so should not complain about the continuous glass-ceiling or exploitations that exist against the non-whites.
Patriotic Americans do not care someones ethnic background. We are above shallow feelings like that. People cannot understand how we intergrate so well and fairly.

I commend you for being among the very small minority of patriotic Americans who feel this way. I really do.
What is wrong with that! Nothing, I do not care about someones ethnic background. I know there are racists all around us, and I do mean all around us. The world is full of racists.

"" Hm or am I correct? By 2050 Whites will make up 46 percent of the population.
Hm now how does that make whites not the majority? When Hispanics will make up 30 percent and Blacks 15 percent.
Let us do the math, Whites 46% , Blacks 15% , Hispanics 30% , Asians 9%.
By my math, now mind you this is my math. By 2050 Whites non-Hispanic will still be the majority. ""
FWIW: You need to check your math. 46% doesn't constitue a "majority" - it's a "plurality". A majority means greater than 50%.
