2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm troubled by the apples and oranges here...
I keep hearing on the nooze about how there is a demographic shift happening here in CA and the rest of America, where the population is supposedly getting "browner", as the Hispanic population is increasing. But last time I checked, Hispanics can be of any race, and are often white, so what exactly do they mean when they say that white people will become the minority by 2050? Do they mean that just non-Hispanic whites will be in the minority?

(35,317 posts)It's why many of those who claim that race is just an obsolete, outmoded social construct are so busy lobbying for having "Latino" considered a race.
Or maybe not. If consistency is the hobgoblin of litte minds, then those folk are very great minds indeed.
Then again, the quote is that foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

I wouldn't be surprised if we all become orapples in the distant future.
