^Have America become more like Canada? :D
Mama, Toronto and the GTA is a lie. Most of Canada is white. Ignore Toronto, Ottawa, some places in Quebec and British Columbia and we're outnumbered.

Didn't really read the thread...
But anyways, isn't the child birth rate lower in white families nowadays? Doesn't that have a lot to do with this?
Also, this really doesn't help America at all. From what I've seen in most parts, we're still just getting more and more segregated for some reason. People are crowding in cities based on their nationality/race. I really wish we all became the ideal American nation that everyone initially envisioned, where people from all over the world can live together mixed in fair saturation.
Maybe in the South and Middle America, but cities and urban areas? You see people of different nationalities socializing all the time.
Heck, I don't think I ever want to live away from a city.

That might be the impression you get but google "racial segregation maps" and you'll find that blacks group together, that whites group together, that asians group together. Multiculturalism doesn't work in practise, it only kindles the hate bomb more.

People group together because that's what they know, that's what they feel comfortable with.
However, I've had the chance to work in communities where people of different races actually work alongside each other and I never saw any such conflict between them. Yeah, even if they hate each other's guts, it doesn't matter. It's all about tolerating thy neighbor and that's what I always saw, which gives me the idea that we're not living in the 1800s anymore.
People are more tolerant of others these days.

I doubt this will change anything with racism/race supremacy.
Most Asians are still going to marry Asians, White people are still going to complain that their country is being taken over, ect.
:C

It works individually once said person gets used to it.
They're afraid to step out of the group because they don't feel comfortable. I've been white washed and personally I find it easier to live in a white community now.
I think we really can move to a direction where we all just become one big mixing pot. I mean, the world is getting more and more mixed nowadays. Its only a matter of maybe another 100 years or so.

I like how this suggests that "Hispanic" is a homogenous ethnicity. :lol:

What kinda annoys me is that this isn't the first article about this, but all of the ones I've seen do the same thing: make it whites vs every-single-possible-other-race. If it's blacks that outnumber whites, or hispianics, etc, it'd be a more interesting statistic, but there's a bit of racism layered in it, whether it's saying whites need to be taken down or saying that black/brown/(yellow)/(possibly red? or is that a racist color) people are all the same.
Also the article says black/brown babies (which include blacks, hispanics, some asians) outnumber in the URL, while black/hispanics (excludes asians) in the picture, while also including asians in the text. PICK ONE
:(

that is literally one of the only empirical methods I've ever read about that reduces prejudice.
Different ethnicities and backgrounds working together, depending on each other. No opportunity to make stereotype exceptions or other things to preserve their old way of thinking.

Yeah by moose.
You just named the only places where people live in large numbers. Everything else is isolated.
