I had thought this was more about non-Hispanic whites being less than 50% of the population. More info on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority_min

This is the case for five states right now: Hawaii, New Mexico, California, Texas, and Nevada.
That article suggests the whole United States will be majority-minority by 2043 and for children by 2019. (But a critique is that these studies treat somebody with any Hispanic, Asian, or Black ancestry as non-white.)
- scruple 9y agoThat's very interesting. Thank you. I had heard the term majority-minority before (around an election cycle, I'm sure) but had never given it much of a read or consideration. I don't have much time to digest the article right now but hope to return to it this evening.
