[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]I believe Latinos are the majority as of now.[/quote]
Latinos, in the 2010 census, edged out AA by 12.5% to 12.3%, with whites still around 70%.  Do you also believe in Santa Claus?  Personally, I think race is one of our stupider social constructs, but if you're into it, at least get your figures right.[/quote]
Have you checked Fairfax County Public School demographics inside the Beltway lately?  Most of them are 30-70% hispanic.  I live in NoVA, and my 10 month old DD already understands Spanish thanks to her proactive mother - me.  She and I will laugh at kids who go to her public school and speak a useless language like Chinese but no spanish.

No, but I just did: [url]http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/demogrph/census_summaries/fairfaxcounty_sf1_2010.pdf[/url].  Fairfax County is about 2/3 white, 1/6 Hispanic.  It's amazing how misleading subjective judgments can be.

BTW, without denying the usefulness of Spanish, I have to ask:  You were joking about Chinese, right?[/quote]

But fairfax county public school have disappointe number of minority children. This means that whites are having fewer kids when compared to minorties.[/quote]

hispanic 19%
