When one is uneducated about statistics and the US census they often post things assuming Caucasian people still hold a huge leading majority in the US. I have been trying to circulate the truth for the past year when I realized that most people just went off the media for their information.

On the US Census the people included in the white demographic numbers are as follows

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/note/US/RHI625219

Europe, the Middle East or North Africa. (Another proposal the White House is considering could reclassify people of Middle Eastern or North African descent as a distinct racial group separate from “white.”)

Egyptians(Africans) and people from the Middle East are being used to pad the numbers of “white people in the US against their wishes.

Exactly how many Middle Easterners are being added to the population numbers of white people ?

Data cited by the Arab American Institute suggest that some 3.7 million Americans can trace their roots back to an Arab country.

That doesn’t seem like a lot until I get to my next point.

Why are Hispanics identifying as white?

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Eric Liu: Pew study of census data shows many Hispanics now identifying as white

Liu: It could have implications in national politics, but mainly tells us about our views on race

He says the longer Hispanics had been in U.S., more likely they were to check “white”

( Even if they are Meghan Markle’s color they are still checking white)

Another article :

So now it’s time to do some math.

The graph shows the Hispanic population in the United States from 2000 to 2019. In 2019, about 60.57 million people of Hispanic origin were living in the United States.

22.6 million The estimated number of Asian alone-or-in-combination residents in the United States in 2018.

The U.S. Black population is also growing. In 2019, 46.8 million people in the U.S. identified their race as Black, either alone or as part of a multiracial or ethnic background.

Middle Easterners as stated earlier

Because I don’t consider them white and they don’t either.

3.7 million

133.67 million non white people are reporting living in the US

Now what was the total number of the US population again ?

The current population of the United States of America is 332,494,997 as of Friday, April 9, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.

Subtract 133.67 from this number and what do you get ?

199 million Whites and 133 million Nonwhites

But wait remember those numerous articles up there examining the large numbers of Hispanics who were checking white ?

In reality there is no way for us to even know whether or not the Hispanic population is much higher thus lowering the white population even more than the two numbers I have up there.

As it stands whites make up 60.3% of the population

Non-whites make up 40% of the population ( if we accept that the Hispanic population isn’t maybe even 2% -5%higher)

Now would it be reasonable to assume that 133 million people should be represented as a possible buying demographic in a grocery store?

Especially in a country with a 330 million population ?

“The US will become ‘minority white’ in 2045, Census projects”

It’s not a joke or a right wing talking point it’s real. I project 2030 which is only 9 years away. If you look at how fast the Hispanic population has grown in only 10 years. Because of course they are working off the incorrect higher estimates reported by the US Census. Us Census had the white population at 67% but when I do the math with actual numbers excluding Africans and a middle easterners from the white demographic. Whites are only at 60% thus holding onto a majority by only 10% and that’s only if we don’t even include the Hispanics who are checking white.

Why did you think white people were such a huge majority lead on non whites in this country ?

Was it because of this ?

Did you mistakenly assume just because there is racial bias in news media that it actually reflected the country accurately?

Just because the majority of news anchors are white does not mean there aren’t 133 million non whites living in OUR country the United States of America.

So yes do go on repeating how 133 million people don’t deserve to have 40% of the grocery store dedicated to them.

That is until 2030 when whites will only have 40% of the grocery stores dedicated to their food choices.

Here’s a crazier thought! What if we all just treated each other as equals and part of America ? What if we didn’t separate people by their ethnic origins since race is imaginary.
