Hispanics are understandably happy about the census results, since it will mean that their interests will be better represented in Congress. Presumably they would be unhappy if their percentages had fallen, and there is nothing wrong with that. So I presume it is equally understandable that all other races would react with similar emotions to a rise, or a fall, in their own percentages. In particular it is only natural that members of any race would feel threatened if a fall in their percentages portended that their interests would be more poorly represented in Congress.

I believe the government has anticipated this reaction, and a desire to minimize it is what explains why all non-Hispanic percentages have been misleadingly inflated in the census data. If you go to the census website, and to Texas in particular, You will see that Whites are reported as being 70.4% and Blacks as 11.8%. But what is not made clear is that these are percentages of the non-Latino residual, not of the entire population of the state.

I am in the process of putting up a website, citipedia.us, which not only corrects these figures, but which graphically displays all the corrected data in what I hope people will find to be quite an interesting way. The true figure for Whites in Texas is not 70.4% but rather a mere 43.9%, and for Blacks it is only 7.4% not 11.8%.

Blacks are represented, on an outline map of the state, as the outermost band, all the way down to the central area representing Whites. Such an ordering was chosen to be symbolic of how the exploding Hispanic component has the dual effect of pushing out Blacks and squeezing out Whites.

While this is definitely a wake-up call for Whites, it is Blacks, being a relatively small component to begin with, who have the most to fear in terms of losing representation for their interests in Congress. For if predictions come true that the current trends will continue, African Americans can look forward, during the 21st century, to watching themselves become an insignificant mini-minority in a country where Hispanics will be a massive super-majority.

Every Americanan ought to take a look at:

The problem in California, as one who used to live there, is not hispanic or white.  Rather, the problem is the belief that socialism can solve problems.  However, as Margaret Thatcher once said, “the problem with socialism is that sooner or latter you run out of other people’s money to spend.”
