Whites now a minority in Texas

- In four out of the 50 U.S. states, white residents are in the minority.
Hawaii, New Mexico and California have been for years, and now Texas is also, according to new Census Bureau data.
The new figures show that the 11.3 million persons of color residing in Texas represent 50.2 percent of the state's total population, estimated at 22.5 million.
Of these, 35 percent are Hispanic. Blacks make up 11 percent.
The state's Hispanic population has increased by three percentage points since 2000, while the black population has remained the same, according to the figures.
The rapid Latino increase in Texas is driven not just by immigration but by high birthrates, says Steve Murdock, a University of Texas at San Antonio demographer.
"The future of Texas is very much tied to the future of its minority populations," Murdock says. "Closing the gaps in education, and subsequently in income, is important for the private sector and for the public sector as well. That's what I think is the major challenge presented by these statistics."
He points out that Hispanic and black household incomes are about two-thirds less than those of whites. In addition, compared to 30 percent of whites, only 15 percent of blacks and less than 9 percent of Hispanics in Texas have a college degree.
Murdock predicts that half of the state's population will be Hispanic sometime between 2025 and 2035.
Nationally, Latinos represent the fastest-growing group of color, having had an increase three times as high as the rest of the population between 2003 and 2004.
Not necessarily political.
White people...bow to me....Arragontigo
Send the crackas to the back of the bus.
"Se Habla Espanol" will be replaced with "We Speak English"
does that mean as a white texan i will get minority rights now?
It just amazes me that Texas gained like 4 million people in 10 years.
In old times, there were less than 30,000 people in the entire Republic of Texas (might want to check on that #, but close).
"30,000 people in the entire Republic of Texas"
without air conditioning, there would still only be 30K people in TX (LA, MS, GA, FL, AZ,NV).
Sweet, I'm going to start pe ioning the governor's office for "Honky Day" or something like that. White Pride Day would probably make some people nervous.
Plus, now Texas can start claiming that it has one of the most affluent "minority" populations of any state.
Hey, I'm a female white texan !!! I'll get more minority rights than you.![]()
So where do I apply for money????
Are Canary Islanders and other pure-Spanish Hispanics in Texas considered white or Hispanic or both?
Is a person with three Anglo grandparents and one Comanche grandparent white or a person of color?
How about a person of African lineage who speaks Spanish at home?
And is a plurality really a minority?
Shhh! I'm trying to get "minority owned business" status.And is a plurality really a minority?![]()
Mexicans pop those babies out like nothingI swear, I am always seeing like a family of 10 in one car all packed together
Get in line, sister!
Here we go...
I hope not.
Soon Mexicans are going to be minorities in Mexico...
I don't know why white people can't reproduce.
I asked my friend Thad after our tennis match. He and his wife Tiffany are trying to have kids.
They make love every month when she ovulates, nice, clean, missionary style, and he shoots the white stuff in the sink because Tiffany finds it too icky and messy, just like always -- you know, she doesn't want to stain the linens.
So far they haven't had success. Maybe they have a fertility problem?
Perhaps Tiffany is too constrained when driving and doesn't have enough room in her present vehicle. Does she have a Tahoe? If so, she may want to get a Suburban so that she is not cramped up in the driving posistion.
Maybe your friend needs to call this couple.
Woman gives birth to 16th child.
Could be.
Maybe if she switched from venti lowfat mocha latte with extra foam to venti nonfat mocha latte with extra foam, it would make a difference?
No !
And does that mean we can have our own White History Month and NWhiteTexanCP?![]()

Yeah, when you start making 65% of what we do . . .![]()
