Majority Minority Nation
It’s official, white non-Hispanic births are less than 50% of all births. Of the 4 million babies born during the year ending 7/11, 50.4% were to minorities, up from 48.6% a year earlier. Among adults over 50, African-Americans are the largest minority while among those under 50, Hispanics dominate. Non-Hispanic whites comprise 63.4% of the US population, but are aging fast with a median age of 42. I’m feeling old.
