"White Americans' majority to end by mid-century"

"The total population should climb to 399 million by 2050, under the new projection, with whites making up 49.9 percent of the population. Blacks will make up 12.2 percent, virtually unchanged from today. Hispanics, currently 15 percent of the population, will rise to 28 percent in 2050."

the trouble is, you can't always tell someone is hispanic just by looking at them. if they, or one of their ancestors, married a male anglo, they'll have a "majority" white name, like lansky or luciano. and they even tend to forget how to speak spanish after a few generations.

it'll be just like us and our quebecois, eh?
