THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: White births in the United States are no longer in the majority, according to new data from the US Census Bureau.
Minority races - Hispanics, blacks and Asians and other mixed races - accounted for 50.4 percent of births over the year to July, accounting for a majority for the first time in US history.
The demographic milestone had been expected for years in a country founded by European whites and that early on relied heavily on the work of enslaved African populations, then went through a civil war and civil rights battle over issues of race.
In recent years, the growth of Hispanic populations immigrating from Latin America has hastened a decline in the majority status of white births, the census data suggested.
"This is an important landmark," said Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau who is now a sociologist at Howard University. "This generation is growing up much more accustomed to diversity than its elders." » | Thursday, May 17, 2012

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A leading black congresswoman has criticised Barack Obama for telling the Congressional Black Caucus to "stop complaining".
Representative Maxine Waters of California claimed Mr Obama "never would say that" to Hispanic, gay or Jewish groups.
She took umbrage at Mr Obama's fiery weekend speech in which he told black members of Congress: "I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes.
"Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do, CBC."
Mrs Waters, a former CBC chairman, told CBS News that she found the comments "a bit curious" and "not appropriate". She said that she was "not sure exactly who the president was talking to" when he made the speech.
"The president spoke to the Hispanic Caucus – he certainly didn't tell them to stop complaining," she said. » | Toby Harnden, Washington | Tuesdaay, September 27, 2011

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The boom in the Hispanic population of the United States is spreading beyond traditional strongholds such as California and Texas to reach every corner of the country including the Deep South and the Midwest, official figures show.
A new report from the US Census Bureau shows that the biggest jumps in the Hispanic population over the past decade were seen in places such as South Carolina, Alabama and South Dakota.
Figures released earlier this year showed that Latinos are the largest minority group in the US, accounting for 16.3 per cent of the population in 2010 – 50.5m people – up from 12.5 per cent in 2000. The overall population of the United States is 308.7m, according to the 2010 US Census. This includes 196.8m whites (64 per cent), 38.9m blacks (13 per cent) and 14.7m Asians (5 per cent).
Now, further analysis from the Census Bureau shows that while California, Texas and Florida still account for more than half of all US Hispanics, many other states are seeing far more rapid increases in their Latino population.
The Hispanic population more than doubled in nine states during the first decade of the 21st century and increased by at least a fifth in every state bar New York.
"This shows that the Hispanic population is now in every corner of the country," said Mark Hugo Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington, D.C. » | Robin Yapp | Thursday, June 02, 2011

The huge number of Hispanic illegal immigrants in the States is bound to have a great influence on the future course of the country. Anyone who loves America as it always has been is certainly going to be unsettled by the following videos:

When a Dallas pizza chain began accepting Mexican money, its owner received a flood of hate mail. The Times reports on the rise of Hispanic America and the ‘culture war’
THE TIMES: Antonio Swad presses a button on his answerphone. A deep male voice fills his office. “F*** you,” it says slowly and deliberately. “Your attempt to Mexicanise our country is an insult to all of us...I and my buddies in the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and all the other organisations I belong to are going to spread the word and do all we can to f*** you. You have insulted this wonderful country.” Mr Swad, a trim 50-year-old American of Italian-Lebanese descent, merely laughs. He has become used to such abuse since announcing in early January that Pizza Patron, his Dallas-based chain of pizza shops, would accept Mexican pesos. He has been deluged with similar messages from across the US.
“Pizza for pesos” was meant to be nothing more than a promotional stunt to curry favour with the Latinos who are Pizza Patron’s core market, and to soak up the loose change that Mexican workers bring back to the US after Christmas visits home. In fact it provided a new rallying point — and a fresh source of outrage after last year’s row over the Spanish version of The Star-Spangled Banner — for the legions of white Americans who believe that Hispanics are overrunning their country, destroying their culture and threatening their Anglo-Saxon dominance.
At most Swad expected a few paragraphs in the trade press. But after The Dallas Morning News ran a story on his offer one Saturday morning, he found reporters and television trucks beseiging his outlets with their “Aceptamos pesos” signs.
The story made the national news, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Colbert Report. CNN gave it 20 minutes. It was picked up by Rush Limbaugh. “This stuff doesn’t go away,” fumed America’s leading right-wing chat-show host. “It’s just like gay marriage. It’s like illegal immigration...It’ll grow.” Soon abusive e-mails, irate calls and even death threats were pouring in to Pizza Patron’s headquarters. No matter that countless countries around the world accept US dollars, or that the Canadian dollar is accepted along America’s northern border, or that pizza is a foreign import. The sheer hatred of the e-mails — 5,400 at the latest count — was remarkable.
“You’re catering to illegal immigrants and promoting Mexico over the US...damn you to Hell and take your freaking wetback illegals with you when you go!!!!!,” said one. “You absolutely sicken us taxpaying citizens that want these cockroaches OUT OF THIS COUNTRY,” said another.
