White children are now in the minority among people under 18 in 10 U.S. states and 35 large metro areas, according to a Brookings analysis of 2010 Census data.
The number of white children in metro areas including Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Orlando, Florida; and Phoenix, Arizona, fell below that of other children in the last decade as the population of white children nationwide declined by 4.3 million, the report said.
The decline occurred as the number of children identified as "new minorities" – Hispanics, Asians and other racial groups apart from whites, blacks and American Indians – grew by 5.5 million, the report said.
Hispanics registered an increase of 4.8 million, which kept the nation's overall child population from declining, the report said. The findings reflect changes in the racial makeup of the overall U.S. population with Hispanics becoming the nation's largest and fastest growing minority group.
Hispanics now comprise 23% of children, up from 12% in 1990, while whites now comprise just 53% of youth, down from nearly 70% in 1990.
The findings also underscore projections that the country will become "white minority" by 2042 as the race's median age keeps increasing. The child population stands to hit that mark in 2023.
"Slower growth among whites owes in part to their lower fertility rate – about 1.9 births per white woman, compared with 3.0 births per Hispanic woman – as well as a relatively low contribution to population growth from immigration" the report stated.
From 2000 to 2009, only 15% of growth in the immigrant population was attributable to whites, compared with 78% for Hispanics, Asians and other new minorities.
The report also said the aging white population contributes to a lower growth rate because proportionately, fewer white women are in their child-bearing years.
"The median age of whites is 41, compared to 27 for Hispanics, 35 for Asians, and a staggering 20 for the population of more than one race. As a further reflection of these age differences by race and ethnicity, just one-fifth of U.S. whites are under age 18, compared with one-third of all Hispanics."
The study also found that the decline in white children reduced the growth rate of the overall child population, from 13.7% in the 1990s to 2.6% in the 2000s. Though variation from state to state in child growth was considerable, on the whole, 46 states registered declines in their white child populations.
Not surprisingly, most of the states that experienced growth in populations of minority children are the ones where white children are in the minority: California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Maryland.

America was better, when America was whiter. We whites took a barren wilderness, and out of nothing built the USA. Then starting in the 1960s, white liberal race traitors first imposed black integration on unprotected whites, and then a few years later changed our immigration laws in order to DELIBERATELY DIVERSIFY this white nation. None of us wanted all these minorities here, we continue not to appreciate their corrupt and criminal presence, and we don't want more brought here.
Fellow whites! We will be a racial minority soon – but only if we fail to stop immigration. Contact your Congressman, and tell him you want Legal as well as Illegal immigration immediately and permanently ended. And keep contacting until we win. Nothing less than our children's future is at stake (and yes, we must work to create what I theorize as WHITE ZION – a place of refuge of whites, by whites and FOR WHITES ONLY – carved out of the Pacific Northwest of the dying USA. Help make it happen in the next decade!).

"ews are not a "race" you idiot they are a nationality! here is some of my tax money go get an education"
@ whitegirl:
this obviously shows your ignorance. Do some research on Judaism before you preach your ignorance. Jews are a race, culture and religion. The first testament states that they are God's 'chosen people'. So evidently their concept of race and religion is entwined. Though you don't have to be of the Jewish "race" (yes it is a race, do your research for more information on Jewish genes) to become "Jewish", it is still possible to become one of them.
To me: whites are illegals too. At least they are descendants of illegals. Only Native American are not illegals!!!
Nick! You changed your name! Knew you would show up, and you don't appear to be drunk for once!
agree. Native Americans should be running this country. screw everyone else. it technically is THEIR land. white, christian, bigots stole it from them. and forced their religion on the "heathens". so rise up natives and take back what is yours. trust me i wont fight back. you can have it.
Hate whites much?
Re: To me: whites are illegals too. At least they are descendants of illegals. Only Native American are not illegals!!!
You need to do some reading...try a few history books.
NO ONE is a "legal" resident by your definition. The improperly named "Native Americans" or more politically incorrect, the "American Indian" are also immigrants from other lands. Yes they may have got her first, but they are still immigrants that walked across the Bering Straights landbridge thousands of years ago.
There were no natural citizens of the new world other than the critters that God and nature placed here eons ago.
But once again the PC folks have reared their ugly heads...
CNN, you are blatantly racist towards white people. Could you smile a little wider about our declining numbers?
Oh, that's right, it isn't "racism" when it's directed towards white people, it's "Civil Rights Activism", "Affirmative Action", and the "Changing Face of America".
Yeah, just what the nation needs.
Thank you. Reverse discrimination anyone?
Stop playing the racism card. Where is your proof this is racist? Exactly, stop being sensitive. You whites have been playing the racism card so much lately. It's getting lame, bro.
Well if you whites don't like what's happening you could always (go back to where you come from) that's something that you ole racist whites love to tell people of a different race. Funny how the pages has turned on you, your race deserves every thing that's happening to it.
'go back to where you came from' only applies to those not born in the location they are being told that phrase.. so unless you were born somewhere other than where you were standing when that was told to you. your response should be i am from here. also. for most whites that are here. they are from white immigrants long ago. so they had no choice but to be born here. personally 1/2 my family is from poland around 1910 and the other half england 1700's.
So, marc300, the whites should just go back to Europe? Nice reverse racism there. And most whites didn't come from Europe. They were born here. Their ancestors came from there.
There's so much offensive racism in these comments–against whites, against blacks, against browns. What a thing to be focused on! We have work to do...the country is in dire need of restructuring its economy. We have all been eating too much, spending too much, and living in too much comfort. Color doesn't matter anymore. We need to pull together as a nation before we all suffer.
I agree, but then it is much easier to be racist than be constructive...
Whohoo! I'm a minority now! Where's my welfare check?
You're already getting your welfare check. Whites are the majority on welfare
Remember, new minorities, don't trust darkie!
is it really low fertility rates why white population going dwn? or could it be the sense enough to keep you legs closed when you cant afford to feed another mouth on your current income?
And it's about time whites do. I'm tired of seeing them only on the television seeing them only in the popular movies, yes I know their are black people in popular movies but whites quadruple that. And don't make that lame excuse of whites are the majority. Yes you guys are(for now) but you aren't the only race in America. So why if we do see blacks or asians on television they are stereotypical? I say this will be the minorities chance to take over hollywood,media, fashion and show ourselves Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, in a positive light. We need to stop counting on whites to give us positive roles/or jobs and do it ourselves. When whites become a minority this is a huge chance we need to grasp on to it.
The whole "white minority" is a myth. Most Hispanics consider themselves white. In the next generation of Hispanics most wont speak spanish, and mos wont exclusively procreate with other hispanics. Being Hispanic is a culture. Not a racial group. Check out the 2010 Census. Hispanics don't have a racial group. They either choose white, native or other. Most choose White or Other.
But who will pay for all the welfare?
you americans are all pretty silly.
First you pillage africans by the 10's of 1000's, then you move them to your country, now you complain because there's too many of them. Its comical realy.. You made your bed, now sleep in it.
As for the native americans.. sure, lets think of what would be if the white man and spanish never arrived – you'd be pretty much about in the same boat now as the Somalians or Congolese. Starving, over run with militias, huge lack of technology or infrastructure, feudal lords running the show, big foreign industry raping your resources.
So I say time to get over it.. Blacks, you make the bed you sleep in. Learn to say 'ask' properly and speak proper english and you might get a job. Natives, pull your head out of the sand and get used to the fact that you cannot go back in time, and be thankful for the science and technology the white man brought you and beglad your arent Somalians.
Whites, you brought them here, you freed them so get used to it, at the end of the day we are all equals, you arent so superior with your pasty skin and lack of dance moves.
VictoriaBC, there isn't a single American alive today who pillaged black people and brought them here. The African slave trade was outlawed in the early 19th century and slavery was outlawed in 1865.
Hispanic isnt a race, my family came from Spain to Cuba to the US what makes me different from someone whos family came from germany to the US. Look this is a myth, they are doing what the leaders of Brasil do. They make it seem like the majority is a minority so a small select group can control
