New York, San Diego no longer have white majorities
New census data confirm that some major metropolitan areas flipped from majority white to majority populations of minorities during the past decade.
White people are now in the minority in 46 of the nation's 366 metro areas, including New York, Washington, San Diego, Las Vegas and Memphis, said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.
That number is up from 32 in 2000, 10 in 1990 and nine in 1980, Frey said.
The changes are a result of relatively slow growth among the white population, white people moving outside metropolitan areas, and huge increases in minority populations, especially Hispanic and Asian, he said.
Recent analysis also showed white children are in the minority in 10 states.
"[The 2010 Census figures] show we’re becoming a more diverse nation, especially in our metropolitan areas, and it's filtering out from there," Frey said.
The Census Bureau previously released the data for cities, counties and states, but data calculated for metropolitan areas and regions might give people a more accurate understanding of where they live, Frey said.
For example, while the population of the city of Atlanta grew by about 3,500, the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta metro area, as the Census Bureau calls it, grew by more than 1 million. The Houston and Dallas areas also had growth of more than 1 million, while the Phoenix and Riverside, California, areas both added more than 900,000.
See the fastest-growing metro areas.
"As we become much more of a suburban nation, the kind of glue that puts the community together is the idea of the metropolitan community," he said.
Looking at metro areas also can offer a deeper view of how people live in different areas. Frey has used statistics about metropolitan areas to calculate the most segregated areas in the country. In terms of white and black, the most segregated areas were around Milwaukee, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland.

I think all or you are crazy.
Thank you.
It's about time you noticed me.
Still waiting for all my benefits for being white! Does mean I will finally get them???
Most people on welfare are white...
Most black people are not on welfare.
Man, your dumb behind must have voted for McCain...
Actually I worked in public housing in two different cities and it was mainly all black people getting the benefits.
Um...I'm pretty sure you've received those everyday of your life.
@Kelly, Yes and I don't drive on a highway to work, therefore there are no highways.
Sorry Heywood Jablome, but "The Unspoken Truth" was wrong.
Does this mean we get speacial school grants for school now?
Nope caucasians just shifted from being the majority(i.e. more than 50%) to being the single largest minority group in those ciites(i.e. maybe 49%). You will get the benfits when one or more races either supercede you or you become insignificant in your numbers to really affect any change.
Democracy is a great system until 98% of the country has the same goals. Gets much more noisier when it gets more evenly divided. Case example is India where hindus are 70% of the poulation but 20% muslim, 5% christan and 5% sikh as well as Budhists have sufficient numbers to affect the agenda of the majority.
Now people will have to be more sensitive to each others agendas and only co-operation will be way forward. Gone are the days of 'my way' or the 'highway'. Hopefully this is a good thing.
Damn, get over yourselves. Were all humans.
I feel like a minority. You know how many African Americans and Hispanics I have seen get leadership positions over more qualified white workers just because businesses are afraid of being sued by NAACP? Too many. Im one of them.
Has anyone counted the number countries which have to import over half their food?
It's only a question of time here too!
So basicallythis means that to get the minority status it means that whites are no longer more than 50% of the population. If they are 49% then they just happen to be the single largest racial group just not the super majority anymore.
From what I read is that the cities heve no more majorities left and will be more evenly distributed. This can be a boon for race relations as everyone will have more vested interest in the entire city succeeding as a whole and more shared responsibilites and goals.
and the Indus are taking over America, if so, at least learn to dress up as civilized people and not bring your ugly custmons here.
the ones who are over populating America are the people from India, thery re-produce like rats.
Free housing, free education, free food, etc! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Finally!!!
Next up on CNN: How CNN itself restarted the race riots.
can't wait – then we'll see the myths are wrong 😉
lol
CNN has been calling everything racist for a while now. There's nothing like a good racist story. I think CNN invents this stuff because they've lost all their good reporters.
Soooo
I wonder if there is any correlation between Whites becoming the Minority + America starting to fail .... hmmmmmm
Correlation does not mean causation. This nation has been slowly failing from the start, just do a little research into how many times our nation has simply raised the debt ceiling.
does this now give us whites the right to whine about everything that doesn't happen to go our way?!
No. That means you are a Democrat!!
Good answer, Lance!
I bet this really gripes the a$$ of all the Billy Joe Jim Bob's out there. 🙂
Contrary to popular belief, there aren't that many people with those kinds of names anymore.
That said, why would jim bob be upset, the united poor white boy college fund is there to help him......a mind is a terrible thing to waste, no matter what color of skin it's wrapped in.
Whites are the minority in the WORLD. Why not big cities? In a recent trip to NYC, I was the only white on many trains, so it doesn't surprise me. CNN recently had an article about the most "average" face in the world, and it was an Asian face.
So whites are in the minority. So what? Big deal. Who cares?
White & proud .... just not that tan
Call it karma... after years of being treated as second-class citizens, having prejudice and racial bigotry thrown at them, life has finally decided to even the balance. Guess a lot of white bigots are gonna be scared now! Wonder how they'll take it when the day comes they have to work for a minority boss! LMFAO
Bla bla bla bla bla. Do you really think the census numbers mean anything? There plenty of white people working for and or with colored folks.
The idea that releasing census numbers actually changes anything in this country is pretty ignorant. Good or bad, people won't change or go hide in fear, because of this data being released.
Sounds like you are the racist Dan.
Um, you are lumping everyone in one category that stretches several 100's of years. I don't remember being alive back then. So, your reasoning does not make any sense. I didn't own any plantations. Nor did I beat any nor was responsible for slaves and their situation. But my great grandmother was half black. Me? I have strawberry blond hair and identify as a white male. I've seen more discrimination coming from black people than any other race. What does that say?
I have worked for black managers. And every single one of them were racist as HE double hockey sticks. Get over yourself.
Been there done that, 10 years ago. I worked for the County here in Arizona, my Admin. boss..Hispanic...office boss, Hispanic, the people we answered to downtown (bosses boss) Hispanic and 1 AA. I was the only white person in those meetings, our whole office as a unit? (the worker drones no authority) ...white + 1 Hispanic that no one else liked not even the other Hispanics..lol
Essentially almost every comment I've read hear is idiotic.
your ranks right up there with them.....
You mean "here"
Seriously why does anyone care
