The White Minority

As the extremely volatile Christopher Hitchens put it, the Glenn Beck gathering at the Lincoln Memorial was, "...a Waterworld of white self pity". Indeed.

With white Americans destined eventually to become less than a majority of Americans, bitterness, fear, resentment and hate are the expected defenses. But that raises the question of who, exactly, will supplant them.

Certainly, no single group will become a majority in the lifetime of anyone reading this. However, here is the list of the most prevalent non-Caucasian minorities, with their current representation of the U.S. populous:

-- Hispanic/Latino 15%
-- African American 12%
-- Asian 4%
--American Indian/Alaskan native 0.8%

The first response, of course, must be--what are the whites afraid of?

The second response, just as logically: isn't each of these 'minority' groups better informed and in possession of more common sense than the predominant white population?

Tea Partiers, put down your defenses: you will be undone only by your own idiocy.
