The world (meaning the good old USA) is turning brown or at least tan. Warren with it's 99% "Caucasian Persuasion" needs to get on the ball and start making white babies. It's fun and down right patriotic. I propose (like the Republicans) a ban on birth control and abortion. We desperately need more Nascar lovin, Walmart shoppin, McDonalds eatin white folks to balance things out or the next president without a birth certificate may be from Puerto Rico! Those that are able, get to work!

White Births Are No Longer the Majority in U.S.
The demographic milestone that has been expected for years has finally come.

White births in the United States are no longer in the majority, according to US Census Bureau data made public Thursday.
Minorities -- Hispanics, blacks and Asians and other mixed races -- accounted for 50.4 percent of births over a 12-month period to July 2011, marking a majority for the first time in US history.
The demographic milestone had been expected for years in a country founded by European whites and that early on relied heavily on the work of enslaved Africans, then went through a civil war and civil rights battle over issues of race. (proud history, that, no?)
Whites still maintain the largest single share of the total births, at 49.6 percent, according to the census data, and remain the majority -- 63.4 percent -- of the population as a whole, according to the Census Bureau in the latest release of data from its 2010 census.
