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#26007 Post contents: <i>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. <i> This is silly. Tiger Woods and Obama are not white, they are mixed-race. It makes more sense (and is more respectful) to have a separate "mixed race" group for people who are mixed race than it does to just arbitrarily assign them to whatever group you want to increase numerically. Having said that, I do think that U.S. Hispanics in coming generations will become more white, as they interbreed with the majority white U.S. population. The child of a typical Mexican (50% American Indian and 50% Spanish) mixing with a typical Anglo-American will produce a kid who's around 3/4 white, and who will most likely look white, if perhaps a bit exotic--like a lot of white kids in the South who have one quarter cherokee ancestry. Such people will no doubt identify racially as white first, with a secondary Indian ancestry to trot out when they want to feel unique. :-) But that's a very different thing from assigning truly bi-racial individuals "white" status for the sake of boosting white numbers.
