Also I had never read the term "self hating white" before this thread. That's... one for the uncomfortable bucket list I guess.

Should mention I said that as one of the whitest people ever. My family is half second generation (grandparents immigrated from Europe)
The backlash of this will have the racists manifesting their hatred toward People of Color even more. We need rp.brace ourselves, but we'll get through it.
It's just people acting silly within their little safe space on ERA.
It would be quite stupid think that wishing for a specific group of people will help to get rid of all problems through history. It sadly doesnt work like that.
White supremacist millennials despise boomers for this becoming a reality under their watch much more than Iraq or the recession. More than anything else, it seems like the biggest consequence that this is likely to have is higher adoption of reactionary ideologies out of white existential panic. You're already seeing it today and it's only going to get worse.
Agreed.
IMO, every mixed race baby that is not visibly black will be welcomed into the white majority. We've already seen elements of this in the WM/EAF pairings and their offspring, along with the fairer-skinned Latinos identifying as white based on their own cultural caste systems. The field is only going to expand further IMO, despite the objection of some of the more extreme white nationalists. Because, after awhile, maintaining power and control will simply matter more than preserving "pure" bloodlines.
The mixed race bit is really important.
"For example, the child of a white mother and Hispanic father would be counted as Hispanic, even though research shows that many such mixed children — about 11 percent of all births, according to Richard Alba, a sociologist at the City University of New York — are not unlike white children in terms of residence, family income, schooling and eventually, marriage."
I'm white, but my children will be half Hispanic. But they are probably going to look white and share my white privilege. So not counting them as white in a census is kind of stupid. Whiteness is not just about genetics.

Given the wealth of minorities here in America, I could see us resembling South Africa in a way in about 20-25 years. A smaller but wealthy White, White/Hispanic and maybe Asian upper class, with a majority Native, Black and Brown lower class. A more equally diverse population doesn't mean much for changing outcomes since one race controls the majority of money.
User warned: Accusing someone of lying about their race without evidence.
You don't have to lie about your color to make this stupid point about "self hating whites" Those people are just "free thinkers", you'd say if they were any other color.
Really, white people making those kinds of comments that directly state an interest in declining facism and actual fucking racism don't need your "black friend" disapproval because you want to switch places with them or some bullshit
Exactly. "Hispanics" are largely white and have been waiting to join full whiteness like the Irish did before they were seen as white. We're going to start see "Eurasians" become a big thing too. Other groups will definitely take the bones thrown their way to join the privileged
Plenty of front runners who will gladly join the majority to keep everyone else down. If the same systems are in place, the rest of us won't be gaining as much as we should.
Yup. It's worth noting that, once upon a time, Irish people weren't considered "white".
As a white guy...meh...this is fine. Only racist morons would see an issue with this, so fuck 'em. I'm not self-hating or anything, but hey, variety is the spice of life.
Shame about the drug overdoses, though; it's getting to be a bigger and bigger problem.
This bit is frightening. Prey on the fears of people who are uneducated and use only one news source (cough, Fox, cough). From the mouth of the moron in Chief himself, "I LOVE the poorly educated!"

Italians, Greeks, Eastern Europeans, Jews, pretty much all Catholics — you name it. HP Lovecraft wrote in his personal letters about his intense racial terror of Slavs. It wasn't even that long ago. People are surprisingly flexible in their prejudices except for one unchanging constant: that black people are forever on the bottom. Brazil has a pretty mixed society, a self-conception as a "racial democracy" where the one-drop rule doesn't exist, and most people have at least a little African ancestry. But that doesn't stop the general prejudice against darker-skinned people, when, say, cops pull people over, unfortunately.
Speaking as a whitey, I'm okay with this. Not so much with why the deaths are higher, but the loss of majority might actually, dare I say it, make America great again.
It honestly reads like a bunch of spoiled brats. "Wah, I like totally hate my skin color because we are just like SO TERRIBLE" * waits for pat on the back from a PoC *
Oh yes, this moping attitude will most certainly help change the current racial environment we are all living in folks!
There is still a strong stalwart of black Hispanics who want to be added to the fray, thanks to the bullshit fed to them by their former governments.
Thankfully, a lot of them are starting to wake from the indoctrination and realize, within the context of global perception, they're viewed as being no different than any other black person. A number of groups - like the Dominicans and Cuban immigrants who moved to NY - had to learn the hard by experiencing discrimination and brutality, but they're starting to get it.
I can't think of any conceivable reason why this would bother anyone, other than racists. It's literally evolution.
I'm from Houston and I'm pretty sure white people are already the minority here. I, as a white person, am not the slightest bit bothered by it. Actually, my marriage to my beautiful Puerto Rican wife has helped the process.
Pretty much it's why "White genocide" is a thing
Comes with the territory for q developed country
Hell even African country are seeing a decline as well as they grow
Hispanic isn't a race to the census anyway. As generations become more removed from the culture, they'll be less likely to check that box.
Pretty sick some of the celebration of more deaths in humanity than lives being inhabited in this thread. Regardless of skin color, things like depression, unhealthy living take a vice grip upon anyone and we need to find out better solutions towards combating the like.
There is nothing good to see a trend of people dying more than it is people being born.

Absolutely! We, as a species, have to get breeding to outnumber the aliens for the upcoming space wars.
The cucks and white woman will one day rue the day right?
In context, the celebration of the predominant hegemony weakening is sick? The hegemony that celebrate and perpetuates the depression and unhealthy living for not just themselves but other groups?
Nah
You don't get to separate the historical and ongoing context from this to now use racial discrimination as a shield for the group that benefits the most from racism.
People are happy or not concerned because the group that props up discrimination and marginalization won't be as dominant- no one hates white people for their skin color like the groups who are actually hurt by racism
I don't think people are seeing this as more white people dying and more of a shift in demographics and lower birth rates
I don't agree with the self defeatism I don't think people are being bloodthirsty
And decline in birth rates does not mean necessarily what you probably think it means, for developed countries and with minorities tending to be poorer it means there's no incentive or pressure to have a family
Am I reading the incorrect article or am I wrong in being alarmed that a certain group of people are dying more frequently than being created for various reasons?
Well yeah. Considering people used to have 5-8 children and the vast majority of people are only having 1-2, this is not surprising at all.
Think for a moment why there are less white people being born before becoming alarmed. What could be a possible reason for this?

Yes the country will be better off as a result, there are statistics to back this up
Am I going to get banned now?

I'm.not having a kid if I can't even afford healthcare you stupid fucking idiots. Maybe help out the non-rich and we might have kids you dumbasses.
Nope, this makes it less likely.
Social Security is like a pyramid scheme. It requires more people working and paying in to support the ones retired and drawing social security. People living longer and fewer people being born are both working against Social Security's future.
I too am pleased that drug overdoses and the great recession are resulting in the death of more people.
I didn't realize it was this bad. I guess i was naive to think that over the years white supremacy bullshit would just fade away.
Of course one of the main points would be pertaining to interracial marriage which there is absolutely nothing wrong with but I just don't see how people are celebrating the alarming death rate occurring in a certain group of people surpassing the birth rate. Is that not cause for concern over what those underlying factors might be? Some of the posts on the first page are pretty sick which is what my initial post was referring to.
Actually HUMANITY is fine. Humanity does not equal white people and the fact that you think it does proves white hegemony should go far away never to return
I hope this post made a lot more sense in your head.
They do consist a part of it though, how is it good that a mass group of people are dying for reasons that these researchers haven't necessarily uncovered yet? Because of asshole radicals who don't speak for all people of a race? That warrants some people saying good and wanting it to happen some more in this thread?
This isn't a new trend, nor is it exclusive to the USA. Birth rates are declining in nearly all 1st world countries. And it's not limited to whites either, like some are hoping.
But I don't really see this trend as real a problem. The total population of the world isn't decreasing. So countries are just going to have to change their immigration laws to compensate for population loss.
And despite what some may hope, other minorities aren't eager to join the GOP.
No doubt, but expected.
