In the year 2100, 15 years after I am dead based on my life expectancy.
less than 10% of the world would be of american and European decent.
50% would be Asian and 40% would be African.
When I first heard it, it took me some time to think about what that means.
Think about what history books would read like in the year 2150. It would be sort of surprising to them that that the world was so eurocentric - they would prolly all be of same skin color and of a darker shade. The anti-immigration stance that is becoming so mainstream must feel to them similar to what reading about slavery feels to us.
There is also something much more profound, when we view historical data about dinosaurs or other species we always look at statistics of their representation - essentially out of factors that is outside their control, their is a peaceful extinction of the European gene pool, so you really cannot fault the reactionary response to it. Extinction is also the wrong word to use here, genetically the best features would get absorbed by the human species of all 'race'. Its inevitable but the recent surge in immigration is making people deal with that fact in a very direct way.
The world has always had less Europeans and people of white color skin then other shades, if you took every person in the world and randomly changed their location, it would be a huge shock to most white people that they are surrounded by non-white people. For everyone else seeing an extra white person a year is not as shocking.
The thing that is happening in england is also happening in america but its not as bad because of the sheer size of america.
In England a change in demographics is a lot more noticeable - either it be age, ethnicity, language or religion.
- kingmanaz 10y agoWhites are now a minority in children under five years of age in the United States. Given the prevailing worldwide tower-of-Babel Zeitgeist, there is no reason why the same will not be true in Britain. Hundreds of generations to build a civilization. A decade or two to squander it away. Disinheritance.

- smallnamespace 10y ago> less than 10% of the world would be of american and European decent. > 50% would be Asian and 40% would be African. World population has followed these proportions for most of recorded history. The true aberration is that the last few hundred years, the West was much richer on a per capita basis than the rest of the world (due to industrialization and colonialism). If India and China manage to continue their growth, then we'll finally see this normalize.
