The Major Demographic Shift That's Upending How We Think About Race
By William H. Frey

"The usual way that race labels are applied in the United States in everyday parlance and in government statistics fail to capture a phemenon poised to reshape how race is actually lived in America: the increase in multiracial marriages and births, which almost certainly will lead to more blended populations in future generations. As this trend continues, it will blur the racial fault lines of the last half of the twentieth century. The nation is not there yet. But the evidence for multiracial marriages and multiracial individual identity shows an unmistakable softening of boundaries that should lead to new ways of thinking about racial populations and race-related issues.

"Sociologists have viewed multiracial marriage as a benchmark for the ultimate stage of assimilation of a particular group into society. For that to occur, members of the group will already have reached other milestones: facility with a common language, similar levels of education, regular interaction in the workplace and community, and, especially, some level of residential integration. This is what we saw with European immigrants from Italy, Poland, and Russia in the last century. After decades of being kept at arm’s length by “old” European groups such as those from Britain, Germany, and Scandinavia, the newer arrivals finally began to intermarry with the more established ethnic groups as they became more upwardly mobile and geographically dispersed. Hispanics and Asians differ from white Europeans, of course—most significantly, for these purposes, Americans tend to view them as racial groups rather than ethnic groups. And race divisions, especially between whites and blacks, have historically been far less permeable. So the blending of today’s new racial minorities through multiracial marriage is breaking new ground.

"Multiracial marriages have been rising dramatically. In 1960 (before federal statistics enumerated Hispanics and before the 1965 legislation that opened up immigration to more countries) multiracial marriages constituted only 0.4 percent of all U.S. marriages. That ﬁgure increased to 3.2 percent in 1980 and to 8.4 percent in 2010. More than one in seven newlywed couples are now multiracial.

Are you trying to say they don't have a good track record in predictions or something?

The interesting thing about all this is that the libtards have sown the seeds of their destruction on this race thing. While this country is moving to the left and I doubt that will change soon, the libtards thinking on race is !@&^ed up even worse than their usual stuff. They thought if only they could get enough white people around black people that the white people would see that black people are just like them. So they pushed integration. More and more white people are learning that more black people bring more crime, worse schools, higher taxes, more riots, sinking property values, lower government services because of lower tax revenue (despite higher taxes) and a general lower standard of living. Instead of bringing about universal love and peace (not to mention unicorns and rainbows), the libtards are bringing a healthy understanding of reality to the white race.

Oops.

It's pretty obvious you are a racist with a clear lack of meaningful education. The way you talk about "white people" and "black people" is ignorant. You may not understand it is, which of course is part of the problem, the way you were brought up and your education is lacking in some very basic way.

The only hope for the US is for future generations to outgrow the impact of idiots like you and move forward progressively as many countries have already. Inward looking American bigots have no real social value to the world, they service only themselves and their like minded friends.

What is really happening in the world simply confuses the racists on this site. While it altogether shocking to most Canadians how deeply racist some Americans remain in the year 2015, and how blatantly public some such as TGregg are with these views, one can only hope that the majority of Americans will will naturally suppress these racists over time.

The racist talk on here being labelled as "political" wouldn't be socially acceptable in most Canadian contexts. I would suspect that eventually the US will get there.

Huh.... You appear to not be aware that Canada suffers 2x the hate crimes per 100,000 people as the United States. Go look it up (3.9 per 100,000 in Canada). The United States endured only 5,796 hate crime incidents in the same period (1.9 per 100,000). Both countries use the same definition for a hate crime. The statistics aren't even close.

Of course you can file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) if you think you been offended. Good luck getting any action if you are Jewish or white however - http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/racism-on-et.288618/page-3#post-4066337

That depends on your definition of "education". If you mean he hasn't been sufficiently conditioned to deny objective reality, then you're absolutely right.
