Does this mean "White" is a minority now?

[Anonymous]

Hspanic / Latino 33.4%
White 25.3%
African American 21.9%
Asian 14.1%

I'm a little fuzzy on the definitions of who is considered a "minority" race / ethnic group at MCPS now?

This isn't really new. And it's not just MoCo thing.

But, currently, they are still the majority in terms of power and higher ed. Don't worry. All is well in the white bubble.

In 2018, the last year for which data are currently available, the proportion of people in the U.S. under 18 years of age was just barely more white than nonwhite.

However, children under 11 were more nonwhite than white.

In almost one-third of U.S. states, nonwhite children outnumber all white children under 18 in 14 states – including Nevada, Hawaii, Georgia and Maryland – plus the District of Columbia.

Nonwhite children currently outnumber white children ages 0 to 4 in these 15 states and in Louisiana. In the next few years, the same will be true in North Carolina, Illinois and Virginia, followed a little later by Connecticut and Oklahoma.

In the coming decades, the percentage of all white children will drop – from 49.8% in 2020 to 36.4% in 2060.

White people aren't having children at a high enough rate to cover the dying white population.

First, the declining number of white children reflects the significant aging of the white population.

Whites in the U.S. have a median age of 43.6, much higher than those of all other racial or ethnic groups. Latinos, in particular, are much younger, with a median age of 29.5.

this “white bubble” condescension is the opposite of what we need to do to help our white kids live up to our values and thrive in a majority-minority world. if you think lecturing them on their “white bubble” and “white privilege” is the way to teach history and values - you need to get out of your own bubble.

Yes, whites are a minority. But that doesn't really impact anything.

Are you new to mcps and Dcumlandia?

It definitely impacts housing costs as people scramble to get into a W school.

Seems European Americans will still be the single largest group.

Not new. I left a W school cluster for a non W school. Trying to get away from those who are attracted to W schools.

I’m not white and I agree with this PP.

No, but pushing this nonsense sure helps create resentment with some voters.

We did too, and it turns out our kids have much better options elsewhere in the county.

Whites have not been the top race at MCPS for a couple years now.

Of course, MCPS ignores this, and still ignores them. Here's the 5 groups they focus on for the Equity Accountability Model:
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/evidence-of-learning-framework/equity-accountability-model.aspx

1. Black, not low-income
2. Latino, not low-income
3. White/Asian, low-income
4. Black, low-income
5. Latino, low-income

In other words, they focus on every group except whites and asians who are not low-income. If you're Latino, which is the largest group at MCPS, you're a focus regardless of income.

Where?

Are you in a magnet/IB, etc? Because that’s essentially the same elite mcps track—you just don’t need to pay the housing premium since junior is gifted.

Or are you at BCC?
