Whites will cease being the majority by 2042, the Census Bureau reported, to which I reply, “So what?” Human life is what matters, not the fiction of racial differences. From the story:
In a new report out Thursday, the U.S. Census Bureau projects the nation will become much more diverse by midcentury, with minorities forecast to become the majority population by 2042, experts said.
We will also be aging:
Census officials also expect the nation’s population to grow older, projecting that by 2050 one in five Americans will be age 65 and older
Yea, well I’ll be there long before that.
I may be getting older, but I still hope to live to see the day when we stop keeping track of race because it simply doesn’t matter.
