Emphasis in relative decline of white population in census headlines

[Anonymous]

I'm a white dude, and I don't see anything particularly to fear about a white people being a smaller percentage of the population. I don't feel any affinity toward any racial group. I'd like to see education levels increase because I do feel affinity toward the educated.

People are aware do the fact that there are white people all throughout Mexico, the rest of Latin America, and in South America who have ancestry from Spain, Italy, Germany and other parts of Europe, right? Yet they are still considered 'Hispanic'. I always get a kick out of it when some European blooded kid from Mexico can check off the box for 'Hispanic' in college admissions to get a leg up on the competition by leveraging their automatically assumed diversity.

My boyfriend with half heritage from Spain did this. blonde + about as upper middle class Americana as you can get. Still, I don't blame people for jumping through loopholes. If we don't want them to, we should address some of our more absurd / inconsistent "classifications". UVA is a great school!

This is more likely a message sent out by this administration as something to emphasize with this report.

In case you haven't noticed - they are hyper focused on race. They see it as a dividing issue.

Here's how fox news is reporting it:

"more diverse"... it's less of a clickbait, IMO.

Good for them.

Exactly this. Democrats will mention race any chance they get.

that's probably because you are not insecure.

Only insecure people fear becoming a minority.

This is what my neighbor did. She and her father were born in Brazil from parents who moved there from germany. My friend's daughter was born in the United States but yet checked Hispanic in an attempt to get into stanford. Luckily it didn't give her enough bonus points to make it in. They don't even like tacos and tamales.]

This strikes me as a weird, cynical focus. Are they looking for clicks by stoking racial anxiety among white people?

THat is the biased, divisive land liberal MSM for you.

I don't now why the mostly White journalists hate their race so much.

Journalists mostly don't write the headlines, I don't think. This is bias from the anonymous editorial and marketing staff.

Nah. This is oligarchs in action. Editors, like journalists, are just cogs in the machine.

Journalists are just pulling the wagon while the white liberal elites sit pretty on top of it. One of these days those pulling the wagon will get fed up and vote them out of office.

Trump was always stoking white grievance. I see less of that from the Biden administration.

I haven’t read the articles but inferred that it was that the white population is dropping in absolute—not just relative—numbers, which strikes me as arguably newsworthy and not something that would follow from a headline referring to increased diversity. Is that correct? If not, then I agree; weird headline.

Well, when biden welcomes 2 million Hispanics from the southern border, Whites can't possibly keep up.

This is census data from 2020, before Biden was President. Dummy.

LOL.. and remember, Trump tried to exclude some minorities to gerrymander more in R favor.

Also, if the ^PP could be bothered to read, they would see that white people aren't having as many children. I guess you would blame that on brown people, too.
