Entry: War of the Babies--When Modern Warfare and Demography Square Off, Demography Wins Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/war_of_the_babies_when_modern_warfare_and_demography_square_off_demography#25716 Post contents: Dr. Becher: I agree with the gist of your column: That people who acheive middle class status limit their number of babies, whatever their culture or ethnic background. The go from the paradygm of "have a lot of children, in the hope that some of them will survive and grow to be adults" to "have few children, but take excellent care of them so that all of them reach adulthood" The first paradygm is more careless and callous of individual children, by the way, as they can be easily replaced. Also the decline in the white race is due to the faulty math of those who only accept as white those who have two white parents with no other race - so taht any mixed blood children are counted in the non-white parent's group. It is basic math. You can have black, you can have white, and you can have grey. If you count grey as black, always, then of course, white will continue to dwindle. But we could easily count Obama or Tiger Woods as white, based on their ancestry, and they we see that the white race, far from dwindling, keeps making inroads into others. Sent at: 2008 07 06
