Minorities Now Form Majority in One-Third of Most-Populous Counties

By Sam Roberts

In a further sign of the United States' growing diversity, nonwhites now make up a majority in almost one-third of the most-populous counties in the country and in nearly one in 10 of all 3,100 counties, according to an analysis of census results to be released today. The shift reflects the growing dispersal of immigrants and the suburbanization of blacks and Hispanics pursuing jobs generated by whites moving to the fringes of metropolitan areas.

From July 1, 2005, to July 1, 2006, metropolitan Chicago edged out Honolulu in Asian population, and Washington inched ahead of El Paso in the number of Hispanic residents. In black population, Houston overtook Los Angeles.

"The new wave of immigration, along with its continued dispersal to the suburbs and Sun Belt, is transforming the places which are now being classified as multiethnic and majority minority," said William H. Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution.

It's time for the white devils to get breeding! We need to catch up and win this thing.

But I don't have much hope for the new generation who idols are panty-less sluts and penis-less boys who wear makeup.

We are screwed.

Not sure if your post was serious or in jest. No matter... either way you are right on, whether you meant to be or not.

Well, the new generation learned that kind of behavior from somewhere.

I'm just sayin'.

[MidtownCoog]

Well the ones who are breeding should not. That is for sure.

This surprises everyone?

This is a consequence of the suburbs lying in adjacent counties. The older suburbs (Sharpstown, Aldine, Westfield, Alief, etc.) are adopting inner city/urban/ethnic minority characteristics that are leaving some established inner city neighborhoods (i.e. look at Midtown).
