White Children Now In Minority

By CHRIS ECHEGARAY and DOUG STANLEY The Tampa Tribune

Published: Aug 15, 2006

The youngest Anglo children in Hillsborough County and across Florida are now a minority, foreshadowing the day when Florida - like four states now - becomes a majority-minority state.

Non-Hispanic whites in Florida accounted for fewer than half of all children younger than 5 last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released today. Slightly more than 47 percent of the state's youngest children were non-Hispanic whites, down from nearly 55 percent five years earlier.

In Hillsborough County, non-Hispanic white children have become a minority also, making up less than 47 percent of the population younger than 5, down from nearly 51 percent in 2000.

glad i live in broward

:1orglaugh

welcome to yesterday

sorry, wront thread

Florida is all Puerto Ricans

Broward is next to Cuba though.. I mean Dade... so you are right next to it all

Yeah, Orange isn't any better!

Broward this year is a first when whites are a minority. colorado is wide open

move to Africa

can't believe someone actually keeps track of this. They should use the money to do some useful research

They need to know how much extra they need to raise taxes to pay for all the extra welfare. They also need the info so they know if they need to get more liquor stores, tobacco shops and car title pawn places to be opened in the area.

yeah, census information is useless :upsidedow

so is voting in Florida. note... last president elected.. and last president that won.

the poor and ultra religious need to use some kind of birth control or be sterilized.

Move to Alaska.

So now that my child is in the minority does she get better benefits in school?

Ok, I'm still on my first cup of coffee but hold on a sec. Is it just me, or does that still not make a whole lot of sense? If the whites (in this demographic) make up around 47% of the population, that leaves 53% as the rest of the population. Unless that 48-53% is all one race (and I would assume it's divided somewhat equally between blacks and hispanics), then whites would still be the majority (unless, of course, I missed the memo that the only races now are "white" and "not white")...

47% is NOT a majority. If you get 47% of the vote you don't have a MAJORITY you have a plurality. Whites used to be over 50% well over 50% at one point.

I don't like spics unless they are cutting my grass

Ok, I got ya. You're right, I was thinking of relative majority (plurality) and not straight majority. *sigh* Looks like it's about time for that second cup of wake-up coffee :Oh crap






:1orglaugh :winkwink:

Why do you think i support the ACLU & civil rights so much? :)

I see where we're going to be in 30 years, time to plan ahead!
