  1. From the article

    >The smaller White population is mostly the result of more deaths than births. Due to an aging population, there are proportionately fewer White women who are of childbearing age and fertility rates are lower compared to other groups.

    >Both natural increase — measured as births minus deaths — and immigration contributed to the recent gains of all other groups.

    >Looking ahead, Hispanic and other nonwhite groups are projected to make up 44% of the population in 2030, with Hispanic residents comprising one fifth of the total. By 2050, one-quarter of the population will be Hispanic residents and more than half will be nonwhite groups.

  2. This is by design. The government is attempting to address a blue collar labor shortage without raising wages

    A “diversity of explosion”? Surely they mean an “explosion of diversity”. Even still, since the article is paywalled I don’t know if it’s intended to convey that this represents a massive increase in diversity, or if they’re saying that diversity has been destroyed since almost all of the population growth comes from a single (but still relatively diverse) demographic.

    2 million Venezuelans left because of US sanctions that have destroyed their economy in spite of being one of the biggest oil producers in the world. 

  5. Saying that 90% come from one group and then saying that’s there’s been an explosion of diversity is the definition of oxymoronic

  6. Okay, who’s going to tell these people that White is a race and Hispanic is an ethnicity and that you can be both White and Hispanic at the same time? In fact, a majority of Hispanic people in the U.S. are White.
