Nothing in his post came anywhere close to talking about 'ethnic cleansing'. He was only talking about letting some other group be the majority, and letting caucasians become a minority in the country. Of course, that projection is for 90+ years from now, so if it happens at all, it won't be happening to most of us.

Nothing in his post came anywhere close to talking about 'ethnic cleansing'. Umm, except the part that involved replacing one ethnicity with another, viz, ethnic cleansing. I don't know where you're getting your numbers from, but the census bureau projects the total population to be 405m in 2040 http://www.census.gov/population/www/projections/files/nation/summary/np2008-t1.xls http://www.census.gov/population/www/projections/files/natio... And the nhw population to be half that at the time, http://www.census.gov/population/www/projections/files/nation/summary/np2008-t14.xls http://www.census.gov/population/www/projections/files/natio... ...so, I'd say 30 years, but it's probably less than that because illegals generally avoid census workers, and a lot of people are counted as "white" when they and no one else typically do in practice. Anyway, the actual replacement of one group with another is not an overnight thing. Rather, neighborhoods, then cities, then regions, then states, one by one by one are overrun. Only then, when reversal is impossible is the actual country gone.

  Ethnic cleansing would, by definition, imply the killing of the group being replaced, rather than one group simply outgrowing the other.

"Only then, when reversal is impossible is the actual country gone." Who says the country is gone? First, I generally don't like to use terms like "overrun" when I speak about humans from different ethnicities moving into various geographical regions because I don't think of it as an "invasion." Secondly, the United States is not defined by its whiteness. Being white is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to being an American. As I said in my parent post, I see no problem with the growing number of Hispanics in the population. I feel that it doesn't matter which ethnic group has a plurality or majority in the United States and it certainly doesn't make the country any less the United States.
