AP: "White Population Shrinking"
WP: "Census Data Shows Decrease in White Population" NBC: "White rural population shrinks" Yahoo: "2020 census finds white population shrinking" Politico: "Census shows white population shrinking below 60%" Newsweek: "Delayed census data shows U.S. White population at Smallest Point on Record." This strikes me as a weird, cynical focus. Are they looking for clicks by stoking racial anxiety among white people? |
| A meaningful change in the US's racial make up seems like one of the more noteworthy pieces of information to come out of this last Census. Though it's a fair point to wonder why the headlines all emphasized the relative decline in the white population instead of saying something like, "Census shows increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the US". |
THat is the biased, divisive land liberal MSM for you. I don't now why the mostly White journalists hate their race so much. |
Those journos are mostly just simpletons following orders. This is mostly about the overclass covering its ass and protecting its scams. |
Journalists mostly don't write the headlines, I don't think. This is bias from the anonymous editorial and marketing staff. |
Some of them included some mention of diversity along with the white decline. |
How is it hateful to accurately quote the statistic? |
You know when Tucker Carlson says the same exact thing as these headlines are saying he gets labelled a “conspiracy theorist for advancing the Great Replacement Theory” right? Ditto anyone else who is right of center who echoes the same sentiments as these headlines. Talking about demographic change isn’t fake news when the Washington Post does it I guess. |
It's bullshit no matter who's doing it. Noting the demographic changes is fine. Focusing on white people as being more or less relevant than any other group is problematic -- unless there is a similar spate of "Asian American populations growing" or whatever. |
Just sticking it to MAGA to wake up to our beautiful Diverse world. |
Nah. This is oligarchs in action. Editors, like journalists, are just cogs in the machine. |

I do think it's dumb for them to play that up.
Here's how fox news is reporting it: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-more-diverse-metro-areas-grew-last-decade-census-data "more diverse"... it's less of a clickbait, IMO. |

Depends on how you split up 'Hispanic'. There are many Hispanics that identify as white, so when you actually count the number of Hispanics who ID as white, the white population is still consistently near 70%.
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. |
When Tucker Carlson mentions it he creates fear. It's not just stating information. He riles people up and makes them believe they are losing their power. It's terrifying actually. |
The problem is that the census data is completely inaccurate because of this. It creates fear for no reason. |
