"Slump" — used there by The Washington Post — sounds kind of mean. The first definition in the (unlinkable) OED is: "To fall or sink in or into a bog, swamp, muddy place, etc.; to fall in water with a dull splashing sound."

Well, I find that disturbing. I, for one, generally like white people. I'm one of them myself, after all. Although I admit that wasn't always the case. When my Irish great-grandparents (mother's side) immigrated to America during the Famine many of those who had arrived before them did not consider them white, not least because they were Catholic. Now they're as American as an Irish pub in Chicago!
...leading to more paranoia among racist extremists ....
Speaking of racists - didn't that kid do a great job signing the National Anthem at the NBA finals in San Antonio?
For 5 years it has not been possible to plan for a better future for our children, much less for ourselves.
It shows common sense among folks living alone at their parents house,working part time low pay jobs to pay student loans and wondering why Obama has done nothing to help the economy.
Procreation is a hope for the future activity.

We talkin about whitey or peaty?
Well among other problems, its become damn hard to call yourself white these days. Look at the hell Elizabeth Warren had to endure before having to call herself Native American. One bad anscestor and you're out.
Reading some of the comments, there are plenty who want to hasten the demise.
I contend that most of those are white people with an extreme case of guilt.
Well, it's smart and compassionate to not bring in new people to face an increasingly uncertain future dystopia, so, that alone could account for it.
I love the way the news readers on the MSM always report the coming loss of white majority status with looks of gleeful anticipation plastered on their faces. Of course that America will be an infinitely better country goes without saying based on all the black and brown brains that, no longer oppressed, will then proceed to bless us with a cornucopia of brilliant ideas, inventions and enterprises - sort of the stop light writ large - which will make America finally FINALLY not only a great but a GOOD country.
Non Angli, sed angeli
Some people probably think this is a good thing, but if you mine some data about positive aspects of human life like: prosperity, advancement, human rights, charity and security, and then see how it correlates with white people, you might find this development pretty ominous.
The Ritmo's of the world cheer the news!
I don't care how stinking much of a minority I become.
You can have my topsiders when you can pry them from my cold, dead feet.
As StewartR alludes to above, how much of this is just redefining White people out. There was a time when people called themselves White if they could, but today that's not where the institutional advantages are, so many probably chose something else if they can.
WaPo is talking about The Reproductive Choice of Women. How sexist to label this a sinking into a bog or a clumsy collapse.
We need more pregnancies to sneak up on women.

I won't comment on the "black and brown brains" comment. Ignorant AND racist at the same time.
Just suggest you Google "Harminder Dua" to see a recent contribution from one of those "brown" brains.
Uh, who ran the last Census?
And can we really trust it?
Last I looked, blacks as a group decreased, and the Hispanics are leaving.
Who gives a rat's ass? Color is not culture.
This could also just be that the lump in the snake that is the boomer generation is mostly white. As that group passes, whites will die faster than they reproduce, but it tells you nothing about how it will settle out after the lump passes.
This is great news to leftists. Their plans are working. Cloward-Piven, the decline of Caucasians, the ascent of minorities. A new slave culture. It will be South Africa in a 50 years.

Absolutely right, but when you do not have a massive assimilation nation, then you have a problem with the culture, not to mention that ever increasing rise of politically correct racial politics doesn't help this either. In effect, American culture is being stamped out in favor of the pocket multicultural diversity movement. Meaning that it's okay to institutionalize your specific culture within the halls of government and the auspices of policy making.
"Who gives a rat's ass? Color is not culture"
Cheers! This is what matters. Whites as a whole have had a great and positive influence on the world, but I hope it's not anything genetic. Likely it isn't, since whites are so varied in ancestry. Hopefully it has just been the values they chose to adhere to. Those seem to create good outcomes when adopted by any group. Except of course for the brain farts of Socialism and Communism. Nobody bats 1000.
Hey Dave, movin' on up to Harlem soon?...I thought not you smug hypocrite.
Yes, Racial suicide is a choice, that gets to be made by women. Let us not forget that. It's happening all over Europe, and now here.
In the end, whites will be remembered by the ruins of their accomplishments.
Crumbling empty malls, faded golden arches protruding occasionally from the ground, and the occasional hunted band of whites scantily clad, but many looking oddly like Jane Fonda.
The great coastal cities will be largely underwater, but some of the larger buildings will continue to peek above the water. These will mostly be the great financial institutions, and the local shaman will look with disdain at them to the youngsters and say "munee."
Unfortunately, most mammals are now dead, except the polar bear, and so most women will walk around covered in reeds, as everyone knows it is a sin for women to use their evil nature to entice men. It is a sign of wealth for a woman to walk around covered in polar bear furs.
More to the point, if AmnestyCare dies the death it may be dying right now, then what takes its place is the Roe Effect and net negative immigration.
Be afraid, Lefties, be very, very afraid.
Likely it isn't, since whites are so varied in ancestry.
Actually, whites are pretty exclusive, and have low genetic diversity, compared to blacks, for instance.
Apparently a very small tribe exited Africa. I read once that the number of women who left was only 6.
Giant hole in this is "The Hispanic Race" - invented by two Jewish lawyers working for LBJ and cast since then as a "persecuted non-white minority" embraced as such by media, academia, and various government organs.
But there is no such thing. As schlock science it makes Al Gore look like Isaak Newton in comparison.
The term "hispanic" is laughed at in Latin and Central America, where you have designations of white, mixed white Indian if the Indian part is >40-50%, mulatto, "really Negro looking", and pure Indian.
Truth is that 40% of hispanics in America self-identify as white. And the number would be higher except kids are now taught that being thought of as hispanic, vs. white, may give them valuable bonus points in the future in school selection, employment and promotion...or the number that self-identify as white would be even higher.
So no, adding the hispanic, arab, Indian subcontinent, non-Euro origin Jews - the Caucasian population in the US is still growing. Quite a bit.

One of the many legitimate knocks on the Democrats is that they take black voters for granted and rarely make any effort to advance their real economic interests.
But, much the same argument is true for the Republicans and white working people. Most of what Ann Coulter says in this article is true yet no one on the Republican side seems to give a damn because the current and future immigration policy of the country is beneficial to a small slice of very wealthy Republican donors.
The Dems at least they gain an electoral advantage out of this. The average Republican voter is just getting screwed.

==================
Crap.
In a sense the MultiKultis were right. Certain races and ethnicities have a very difficult time, as a group, not individuals - assimilating into and advancing a host culture in a positive way.
Their folly was in believing everything would be just fine with a separate Islamist cluture living alongside French culture, etc, bettering all through "cherished diversity". Or Haitians would contribute more than they took from Floridians.
Race and characteristics of race help define culture, no getting around it. Why Japan is Japan, and why Ireland is Ireland...

The problem is who defines the culture. The MSM and democrat party have balkanized the races. Black people vote almost monolithicly for democrats and the hispanics that are here vote around 70%.
After losing segregation, Jim Crow, and slavery they have created a new plantation of racial preferences. Combined with the welfare state they have moved Black people into a permanent underclass again and the Hispanics are not far behind. They are bringing in a new wave of people that were poor in Mexico to to take low wage jobs. They advertise for food stamps and welfare in Mexico.
It is not about race. It is about whether or not we want to be a welfare state. It used to be that immigrants that came to the US were the hardest working people in the world. Hispanics that worked on our farm, along with my father, taught me how to work hard. The Asian community is made up of entrepreneurs that routinely put in 100 hour weeks.
The Democrats do not want those people. They want people on food stamps. The Republicans are absolutely retarded on this issue just as they are on the abortion issue. We should be welcoming with open arms people that come here to work and build businesses. But I swear there is a plot in the establishment to make the republicans look stupid on immigration.
Hey fewer white people worked out really great for Detroit.
Oh wait a minute.....
Evidently non whites are so backward and out of touch that they are still having children. No doubt better education and assimilation will cure that problem. Education and money are the best means of birth control.
"Beyond the pale." That expression originated in Ireland. Those English settlers who moved beyond the palisades of Dublin soon became Irish. Immigrants who move beyond the palisades of their own immigrant communities soon become American.....The absolute number of white Americans may very well decline but the most vibrant parts of their culture will continue to thrive. Being American is more fun than being Irish or Ugandan or Mexican, and most people who choose to live here will chose to become American.
Ya'll did hear about Orlando Shaw over in Nashville? He had him 22 chilren by 14 different baby mamas!
The ladies loves me, said Orlando!
I can't pay no chile support, no one will hire me with a criminal record (disparate impact, indeed)!
The good news is that Orlando does support the State of Tennessee.

That's fascinating. If we assume that this very small band of humans were quite exceptional, then imagine what it was that caused them to leave. Were they forced out because the looked different or acted different, od did they leave because they were just exceptionally adventurous, or motivated. It's a very interesting question of why the exodus and why those who left are so different.
"Education and money are the best means of birth control."
STUDENT DEBT is the best means of birth control.
Our student loans got paid off, that's the only reason why we could afford four children.

More like cheap liquor it seems.
Progressives are taking this news with much glee. Fewer boring white folk means more and better Mexican and Chinese restaurants and cheaper and more plentful gardeners, all accompanied with a swelling sense of moral superiority, general smugness, and in-group mutual masturbation.
I read once that the number of women who left was only 6.
I'll bet they became very, very tired. Quickly.
Not every group is committing this demographic suicide.
Traditionalists such as Mormons, Orthodox Jews and Conservative Catholics are still having large families. It is the ultra liberal feminist urban types that are not having children or at most one when they are 45.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
@ricpic: The road to hell is "daved" with good intentions.
I mean do you really want Amanda Marcotte or Sandra Fluke or Lena Dunham to spawn?
Whites will remain the majority in the new country formed when the red states leave.
@Baron,
Those groups are too small to compensate, those who do not have children. Also the likelihood their children will not have children, once they assimilate into secular culture.
How were those 6 women chosen?
Did that Wonkette thing reproduce? I hope we are spared her offspring!
I hear that Dunham is genius, so maybe it wouldn't be all bad have a little Girl!
The Republicans are absolutely retarded on this issue just as they are on the abortion issue. We should be welcoming with open arms people that come here to work and build businesses.
Assuming you think Repubs should be on the prolife side of the abortion issue, I agree with this. The GOP refuses to see that there are voters out there to be won.
The point is Renee is that those are the people who will not assimilate.
The Mormons and the Orthodox Jews have a long history and will be among the last holdouts.
I am also very pleased by the children I see at Mass these days. I hope the non-hispanic Catholics can continue to have large families. They are the ones that are in danger of turning away from traditionalism.

Oh, how cute! He's worried for the average Republican voter.
As for electoral advantage: first, the bill hasn't passed yet; second, unlike blacks, Hispanics raised in this country are a lot less loyal to the Demos.
Add to that the Roe Effect and net negative immigration, plus the kibosh ObamaTax will put on the country's economy (things already look better in Guadalajara), and AmnestyCare may turn into another winner like BarryCare.
The only way that people such as the Mormons of Orthodox Jews will have smaller families will be when the government will limit the number of white children allowed to be born to any one family.
You know. Like in the China that Thomas Friedman and the NY Times admire so much.
The problem is who defines the culture. The MSM and democrat party have balkanized the races. Black people vote almost monolithicly for democrats and the hispanics that are here vote around 70%.
The second and third sentences have no relationship to the first sentence. Politics is not culture, and politicians successfully pandering to ethnic groups is neither new (it pretty much defined American politics in the latter half of the 19th century) nor limited to non-whites.
@Baron
The older white baby boomers are Mass I attend, believe that if the Catholic Church was more accepting of abortion more people would up.
The priests are Catholic and correctly share the Gospel, but seriously the parishioners drive them to drink. It's not the Faith that pushes men away from the vocation, it's dealing with us.
Renee, much as the conservative movement is beset by libertarians who call themselves conservatives, the Church is beset by protestants who call themselves Catholics. I've occasionally asked some of those people why they call themselves Catholic, or in what way they are Catholic; I've yet to get a convincing answer.
"Who gives a rat's ass? Color is not culture.",
Crap.
Well I wouldn't expect you to agree, Cedarford. I've read Mein Kampf. :)
Demographics are destiny
Renee the baby boomers don't matter anymore. It is their children who are coming back to traditional values. The young twenty somethings with two and three kids in my parish are not baby boomers.
In fact they are kind of ashamed of their baby boomer parents and their attitudes.
Didn't some crackhead bitch sing "The children are our future!"
I will say that the priest makes the parish.
Our church is very kid friendly and the priest is not an old guy who gets mad if kids make a fuss. So as a result we have most of the young families in our parish as opposed to some of the others in the neighborhood. People travel a good long way for the right priest.
My cousin became a priest after a long career in the FBI. He preaches a mean sermon and it is amazing the tough guys who show up in his church. Ex-bikers. Ex-gang bangers. All around knuckleheads.
The priest makes the parish. Just sayn'
Renee, much as the conservative movement is beset by libertarians who call themselves conservatives
One looks at the unbroken growth trend of government over the last 80 years and asks: what conservative movement?
Pretty much every "conservative" you've endorsed who actually held office governed like a Progressive-era Democrat. The only actual conservatism has been on social issues, and frankly those aren't important.
Simon those people are there for the ritual. A sense memory of what it should be like in milestone moments. Marriage. Baptism.
Those are the types that come to Mass for a Baptism and talk throughout the whole service. Or don't know any part of the Mass. You the types. The ones that sit in your seat and you want to punch them in the face.
I meant to say "You know the type."
Every year before Palm Sunday or Midnight Mass at Christmas, Father reminds us not to get angry at these cafeteria types who show up for their once a year visit. You just hope that something will stick with them and they might come back on a regular Sunday in Ordinary Time. Just sayn'
Bagoh,
It seems there are a number of stories, and it seems there may be some agendas clouding the most likely explanation.
It has been estimated that from a population of 2,000 to 5,000 individuals in Africa,[57] only a small group, possibly as few as 150 to 1,000 people, crossed the Red Sea.[58] Of all the lineages present in Africa only the female descendants of one lineage, mtDNA haplogroup L3, are found outside Africa. Had there been several migrations one would expect descendants of more than one lineage to be found outside Africa. L3's female descendants, the M and N haplogroup lineages, are found in very low frequencies in Africa (although haplogroup M1 is very ancient and diversified in North and Northeast Africa) and appear to be recent arrivals. A possible explanation is that these mutations occurred in East Africa shortly before the exodus and by the founder effect became the dominant haplogroups after the exodus from Africa. Alternatively, the mutations may have arisen shortly after the exodus from Africa.
If I understand this right, it means that all Asians and whites have a single common "Eve," that is uncommon in Africa. This eve lived at or around the exodus of Asians and whites from Africa. The essence is that there is a part of DNA that is only passed down by the mother (mtDNA). Since women do not reproduce with each other, it means that part of your DNA can be traced back to a single common mother.
The only way the mtDNA can be altered is through genetic mutation, and line L3 has many mutations to it.
There is a book I intend to read, to follow through on this:
"The Seven Daughters of Eve".
In any event, it also causes me to wonder about the mating of homo-sapiens with Neanderthals. If the mtDNA does not mix, then it was the chicks who mated with the Neanderthal dudes. That seems so wrong and disgusting to me.
Sat thanks to Ted Kennedy for all of this.

Stack up European/White progress for the world, and ask yourself the question "Why nowhere else?" Perhaps there wasn't enough time. Or perhaps there was something odd about whites (and Asians) that left Africa. And perhaps even odder things happened.
I don't know whether it's merely culture or not, but no one does.
So you can choose what you believe. Meanwhile, I hope white women continue to have babies, just in case the "culture" part of it doesn't pan out.

True dat. Language and associations play a big role part. I once passed as an ethnic German when I travelled about southern England with a small group of Germans, speaking German. I could feel the hatred in the people's stares.
I think the encroachment of Spanish into American life is divisive and frankly dangerous. You could take the Althouse position that it's good for Americans to be forced to learn a foreign language. I disagree--strongly--as does my wife, who is an immigrant.

Stack up European/White progress for the world, and ask yourself the question "Why nowhere else?"
First of all there is no "white/European" culture. There isn't even a common European culture *today*, as anyone following the northern/southern debate over the Euro and inflation can tell you.
Secondly, there was no "European/white progress". There were periodic bursts of progress from a handful of European and non-European cultures (anyone who thinks we'd be here without Chinese and Indian contributions has never read a history book) which neighboring cultures cribbed from.
Most importantly, what Europe had going for it was balkanization. There were many attempts to impose a common culture on Europe, but they all failed. In China (for example) they succeeded... and China, which was once far ahead of Europe, proceeded to stagnate.
Which is what makes it so ironic that people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent any change to the composition of the United States. Stasis will always be the enemy of creativity.

Don't know about Orthodox Jews, but Mormons are having smaller families, tracking very close to the national average, but about 10 to 20 years behind.

Theories keep coming and are embraces as "true!" by media. Especially "African Eve".
It is looking like there were multiple migrations, inc. two main ones (waves) of modern homo sapiens...which intebred with the descendents of migrations of non-homo sapiens, notably Neanderthals and Denisovians.
Edutcher, she is a Navy Corpsman attached to the 1st MLG. You are quite disrespectful to our troops, shame. Also the only grandchildren you will ever have are of the canine variety (thank you God for being wise in not giving you children), alas they can't vote.
So when I'm told its a black thing and I wouldn't understand.....
Are we to pretend you ever accepted that statement as true?
In all seriousness, though, whenever anyone makes a comment like that to you, reply along the lines of "don't give me that racist nonsense. If you don't think I understand it, explain it to me."
Which is what makes it so ironic that people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent any change to the composition of the United States.
Or its possible that people are fighting tooth and nail to insist on an orderly immigration policy rather than the 'ollie ollie oxen free' policy that is being advocated on the left side of the aisle.
I did not read all of the comments, but a slump ceratinly calls for a slump-buster.
Althouse can urban-dictionary that one to see if that might solve the white birth slump.
You do know that Cleopatra was a dead ringer for Nene Leakes and that there were skyscrapers in Kemet while those white devils were wearing skins and hiding from Grendel's mother.
" then it was the chicks who mated with the Neanderthal dudes. That seems so wrong and disgusting to me."
The guys were a little hairy - no big deal for the ladies, but Neander Chicks? No way they were getting laid by bald crackers with shaved chest hair. In fact, I think the Neanderthals died off because their women were just so freaking ugly that the Sapien babes were getting all the dates.

Yes, but all whites and Asians have one common mother, from mtDNA L3. That line is rare in Africa, strongly indicating a single migration out of Africa. Also, it means the white dudes didn't mate with the female Neanderthals. Though women might have.

No it just goes to the point that while you think color is not culture, you're going to have a hard time convincing the eventual majority of that.
I'll agree with your premise to the extent third world immigrants which seem to be the majority coming here will actually assimilate. Considering we resist efforts and in fact facilitate their maintaing their native lifestyle, I don't hold out much hope. But that's me.
What a load of bullshit. There are still Neanderthal chicks around today!
Luckily they don't dig guys.

What part of bipartisan gang of eight did you not get?
There is a single maternal line outside of Africa, which suggests a single migration.
If you're talking about the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups, there is no consensus about whether one, two, or more of them migrated out of Africa during prehistoric times.
From what I've read, the "one line that then split in Asia" theory makes the most sense, but who knows? We don't have the data to make a solid guess.
"You are quite disrespectful to our troops, shame."
Next sentence: "Thank you God for being wise in not giving you children."
Ah! Ingrish respect: You thank God for the misfortune of others.
It's interesting to watch my left wing children grow more racist than their parents. Of course, they deny it indignantly if you say so.
My generation was so hopeful. Now we see what this regime looks like. Adam Clayton Powell would be so proud.
Which is what makes it so ironic that people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent any change to the composition of the United States.
Even more ironic because it's not true. This country went from 90% white in the early sixties to what it is today based soley on Federal Gov't policy and 2 million plus legal immigrants--and perhaps the same number of illegal--each and every year. People from contries that were part of the makeup at the time were specifically excluded--or severly restricted--from the new makeup. And most people didn't complain one single bit. "Fighting tooth and nail" indeed. Fucking liar.
Color is not culture.
Well, we whites certainly seem to believe that. Now go tell the blacks, American Indians, and east Asians that, please.
To paraphrase Helmuth von Moltke the Elder:
No plan survives contact with reality.
"Now it’s minorities who are going to make the contributions to our economic and population growth over the next 50 years."
Some minorities to former, other minorities to the latter.
Colonel Angus said...
Oh I wouldn't count on that. I'll say it again but racial quotas and Affirmative Action will cease once whites are a minority in this country.
This is overly optimistic. Race preferences will continue for the same groups that receive them now even after whites are a minority. The supporters of race preferences don't care about majority/minority status or proportional participation, these are just talking points for the rubes.
Thomas Sowell wrote an excellent chapter in one of his older books describing how race preferences can always be justified as correcting "under-representation". Job classifications can be split into literally thousands of different groups, and there is no standard. So RP supporters are free to choose whatever classification makes their case. In a circumstance with that many options there will always be one which shows the desired results.
In his book he points out that an overwhelmingly minority federal department nevertheless classified an open position as an AA hire because the specific job was the only one of its type in the department. As such minorities would be underrepresented should the position be filled by a white employee. This philosophy can be applied to literally every position. There is always something that differentiates between jobs.
The truth is we're literally never getting rid of race preferences until the SC reverses course and admits the Equal Protection Clause covers all Americans.
No plan survives contact with reality.
Ever notice how reality isn't terribly poilite when it reminds us of its existence? You can avert your eyes from its ugliness for only so long.

No it just goes to the point that while you think color is not culture, you're going to have a hard time convincing the eventual majority of that.
Your leap from "some black people are obsessed with race" to "non-white people are obsessed with race" is not justified by your single data point. :)
Honestly, you need to read more history. How ethnic groups feel about themselves and other groups isn't a constant. It changes radically from generation to generation. For example, you and others here seem to believe in some sort of "white culture". Americans living 80 years ago would have stared at you with a blank expression, since everybody knew that Catholics and Jews and, ugh, eastern Europeans were nothing like good old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Etc, etc.
As I noted in a different thread when whites can flaunt Official Oppressed Minority status they will become absolutely ferocious players of the Identity politics game. I'm guessing that at that time a whole lot of AA and other entitlement crap will be junked. It just may be the salvation of this country.

Stack up European/White progress for the world, and ask yourself the question "Why nowhere else?"
First of all there is no "white/European" culture. There isn't even a common European culture *today*, as anyone following the northern/southern debate over the Euro and inflation can tell you.
Secondly, there was no "European/white progress".
=========================
Ever hear of Western Civilization? Without the Open Borders libertarian cant and the progressives lecturing us that we owe most of it to the Arabs, the wise Africans, the Chinese, and Indians??
***************
More Revenent: "Which is what makes it so ironic that people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent any change to the composition of the United States. Stasis will always be the enemy of creativity."
Sometimes conquerers add to a good synergy. Other times the barbarian invasions of a Rome or Arabs swarming into the Levant or Iran or N India stultify all creativity and progress. Wost case, completely collapse the existing civilization in the process.
Sometimes great innovation comes from long cultural growth of a single people free of invading armies or immigrants bringing "blessed diversity". Then with norms and peace..diverting their attentions to creative paths. Instead of fighting or trying to keep unstable "multikulti elements and what they do to deteriorate cities" from getting worse.
Or who held off "new peoples" seeking to populate their lands. (Greece, the Japanese, early Romans, America blessed by two great oceans as borders blocking new Hordes..)
If you look to great innovative spurts, more often than not it is a stable culture with shared norms, a single language.
Greece, Elizabethan England, 100% Germans in reunified Germany, Japan and China's great leaps in culture...the all-North Italian Renaissance. Even the Caliphate , the only brief golden period of the Muslims..happened at a time when war and cultural mixing were on hiatus.

Really?
Then why is that noted Lefty, Chuckie Schumer, the Godfather of AmnestyCare?
Left unspoken is that the Left believes America is illegitimate - it was founded on genocide and stolen land.
The reason the demise of European Americans is so cheerfully reported every Census is it represents the ultimate, inevitable atonement. Simply put, we’re supposed to go along quietly – which we are – because we are giving up the land we stole.
There are forces at work that want to destroy white culture at it's roots.
On of the most devastating blows was the forced bankruptcy of Hostess Brands. No more Twinkies. No more Ring Dings. No more Yankee fucking doodles.
But worst of all was the end of "Wonder bread." The ultimate symbol of white people everywhere. What symbolize white culture more than "White Bread."

I am sure this is correct in some way, but imagine this:

2. Have a friend play various pieces of musical compositions for you that he knows you haven't heard before. How long do you think it will take to figure out which are likely to have been composed by people of European, Asian, or African decent?
3. Do the same experiment with literature (translated of course).
4. Repeat with food.
5. And art.

You think you need to tell an American Indian that Cherokee isn't the same as Navajo? Or tell an east Asian that Chinese and Japanese people have different cultures?
Have ya actually MET someone who wasn't white? I gotta wonder. Heck, even among black Americans it is common for African immigrants to deny belonging to the same group as black Americans. As well they should, since they've got nothing in common besides skin tone.

The correct answer is "all of the above".
To Colonel Angus, edutcher and any of the other total fucking dummies trying to promulgate the idea that the high rates of low cost labor immigration into this country is a 'left' idea should wise up. Did you actually watch how Sean Hannity reversed on a dime on this issue? He's a paid clown parroting the company line, as apparently are most Republican politicians.
Low cost labor is the wet dream of industrialists and financiers, not union workers, the poor or any one who gives a fuck about wealth disparity in the country.
In @ Rabel's cited FAQ...
When we process the information collected by the American Community Survey (ACS), individuals’ names and other personal identifiers are deleted from the files used to tabulate these data. We do not maintain a national database with the names, addresses, and personal information collected by the ACS.

La Raza.
NAACP.
East Asians are quite insular.
Japanese.
Muslims.
Then there are Jews. I don't know whether they are considered white or not, but they are the "Chosen people." I dated a girl in High School who flat out told me we had no chance because I wasn't Jewish.
Chinese and other asians seem to inter-marry with whites, though.
Let's face it, racism is part of humans. Especially with visible artifacts like skin color. For instance, I know a number of guys who are "yellow," that is they only date Asian women.
How could this be? Our brains are wired to associate things. You can try as you might to stamp it out, but it's there.

You don't need more citizens to increase the worker pool. You could have a viable guest worker program, for instance.

No, she didn't.
A certain number of Navy Corpsmen become embedded in the Marines as medics and spend their whole time in as an integral part of the Marine, not Navy, organization. And generally tend to think of themselves as Marines, embracing the whole culture and ethos.
Marine Vet groups have specific language to admit Navy medics in their ranks.
You don't understand how this works. I do, and I was AF. What branch did you serve in??
Amnesty is not about cheap labor, it's about cheap voters.
It certainly does a number on low-skilled workers as a side-effect, though. But I guess getting them on the dole does tend to have positive effects at the polls as well.
Look at that bright side. There will be an influx of brown uncut hog.

Not exactly, but I see your point. Tribalism exists and always has. I am not disputing that. And, true, Euros probaly never thought of themselves as white .. till they met a "black."
My point is there are certain cultural attributes common to all Europeans other than the color of their skin. We know them even without thinking of them.
Think of how you would conduct the cultural experiment that I outlined: "[*Taking off blindfold*] Hmm. This looks like a place that could be in Europe, or somewhere that had been settled by them, based on the architecture. Let me look some more ... Hey, look at that: the houses are mostly of wood, tar shingles on the roofs, some plastic siding, big grass lawns, wild, un-pruned trees in the yards. Yup. Whites must live here. More specifically: Americans. What's this I see? A small statue of the Madonna in the yard. Gosh! Catholic Americans!"
See? Larger culture ---> subcultures. It wouldn't take too long to figure out wheter you were in an Italian neighborhood, I bet, by the smell of the cooking ... all without seeing a soul.
"I am really white too. "
I think the technical term for that is "colorless".
