US is diversifying, white population shrinking

I'm still not convinced Jesus ever existed since there is no firsthand account of his life. I'm in the process of learning more about him and whether he was just created by the Romans in an attempt to pacify the Jewish people.

Jesus (a practicing Jew until his death) flew in the face of everything the group of Jewish people of his day that were opposed to Roman rule hoped for in a Messiah; that group hated his example of pacificism among other things. Had Saul/Paul not come along (a fraudster imo), Jesus' followers would've likely remained a small, harmless Jewish sect.
 

Recall the Nazis would kidnap infants and children that had blonde hair and blue eyes from countries they captured and send them to Germany for institutions to raise as the "perfect Germanic specimens".
 
I'm not sure why white birth rates are so low. There may be a bunch of factors. But white birth rates are down across the globe. In every nation where whites are the most populous, they are aging out-having significant portions of their numbers, being seniors. I believe this has more to do with class and wealth than religious, or racial factors. I'm not sure, but I believe almost all birth rates are either in decline or slowing, which is probably good for the planet.

You mean Lebensborn.

""Fount of Life") was an SS-initiated, state-supported, registered association in Nazi Germany with the goal of raising the birth rate of Aryan children of persons classified as 'racially pure' and 'healthy' based on Nazi racial hygiene and health ideology. Lebensborn provided welfare to its mostly unmarried mothers, encouraged anonymous births by unmarried women at their maternity homes, and mediated adoption of these children by likewise 'racially pure' and 'healthy' parents, particularly SS members and their families.....................At the Nuremberg Trials, much direct evidence was found of the kidnapping of children by Nazi Germany, across Greater Germany during the period 1939–1945."

Living backwardly?
Consider social living conditions before we were born and compare the past conditions with present conditions. Population increase and decrease reflects the security and hope of a given population. Mixed populations are greater in number than before. I wish I grew up in a close family structure as Mexican/Latino.
I hear white people stopped being intimate with each other? Perhaps this is the reason for the decline of the white population?

I believe it’s because women want a life, not a baby.

Reminds me of a quote I posted in another discussion:

"People are always saying you have your whole life ahead of you, but that's not true. If you're a woman, you need to set yourself up. You need to make your path before you get steamrolled by everything everyone expects you to do. Kids, house, all that sh*t."
~~from Please See Us by Caitlin Mullen
 
I did see a TV show where a sociologist noted that white women tend to delay pregnancy for careers/college, while lower income women have more kids earlier, because their incomes aren't going to change by waiting- a minimum wage job is still going to be a minimum wage job. And lower income women hope that their kids can escape poverty, even if they can't.
 
I think another thing that might be happening is that if one reason some people have kids is so that they'll possibly have someone to help them in their old age, some people no longer worry about that? As to why they wouldn't be worried about it, I have no idea. I can tell you right now, from what I'm starting to experience and what gals I've known have experienced, advice I would give to young gals is that if they're positive they don't want to have kids or adopt, then do not get married to or live with an alpha spouse. Because for an elderly woman, having willing and able kids is the only way you'll have an advocate to deal with a stubborn husband (or unfortunately in some cases, protection against an abusive husband). "No, Dad, you have to move! Mom can't handle those steps anymore!" or "No, Dad, if you don't stop, I'll move Mom in with us", etc. I know of one case where a grown son literally saved his Mom's life; it took him 12 hours of literally screaming arguing to get the old fart to agree to financial changes so the Mom could get her medicine.

You are so right. I already said how my son finally had to come over and give my husband the elderly facts of life. It’s a shame my son, and daughter, had to become involved in ensuring my safety, but there it is.

That's certainly a factor as more women seek higher education and a career, especially in developed nations....as opposed to staying home and tending children.

Another factor, to the more "informed" people, is the increasing potential for major problems in the future....such as Climate Change. As more people recognize the ramifications of such events, they become reluctant to subject their offspring to what could be a miserable life.

Speaking of white population shrinking, we're taking Afghanis out of Afghanistan in huge cargo planes, and many of them are coming here.

I hope they do. It's the least we can do for them. We took in lots of Vietnamese and that worked out pretty well.

According to Wikipedia these are mostly white people:

The majority of Afghan Americans may originate from any of the ethnic groups of Afghanistan, and are considered or perceived as White Americans but a small number identify themselves as Asian Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Americans

Not that it matters...
 
And the white population is not only shrinking, it is rapidly becoming a minority.
In July of this year Border Protection and Control arrested 200,000 Hispanics as they illegally entered the U.S. Heaven knows how many made it successfully.

Hispanics
Click to expand...
A lot of Hispanics are white. Mostly Spanish or Portuguese or a Spanish or Portuguese - Native American mix (mistizo). According to the Wikipedia article 65% of American Hispanics are white (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans).

White American is a hard term to define, it is not really a race or ethnic group. According to Wikipedia if you count all who self-identify as white we are 72% of the population (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Americans). However if you narrow that definition to non-Hispanics of European origin the number gets smaller.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_whiteness_in_the_United_States for an interesting discussion of "whiteness" in the US. As I originally said it doesn't matter much, but I do find it interesting.

Well since the subject came up- is this a concern at all? OK, 2 potential issues: race and cultural. Are there concerns that "diluting" the white population is going to adversely impact the nation?

Does it adversely impact the nation ? I suppose that depends upon where you live. I live literally a stones throw from the southern border. The VAST majority of my city is Hispanic. At least 50% of the clerks at the stores do not understand English well enough to answer a very simple question. 2 years ago I went to Walmart to buy an ironing board. I asked a clerk, who happened to be walking by, where are the ironing boards ? His answer ? "What are they used for ?"
I asked a McDonalds cashier to give me a fish sandwich BUT without any 'sauce". That confused the hell out of her. She had to call the mgr.
Once, I got run over by a Hispanic who got caught without a pass on the light rail system. 2 transit cops were questioning him. When the train stopped , he knocked me over as he escaped. At age 75, I needed to go to the hospital.
Those types of things sure as **** are negatively impacting my life.
