White Americans' majority to end by mid-century
This is an adjustment from the original prediction:
The estimated time when whites will no longer make up the majority of Americans has been pushed back eight years — to 2050 — because the recession and stricter immigration policies have slowed the flow of foreigners into the U.S.
Census Bureau projections released Wednesday update last year's prediction that white children would become a minority in 2023 and the overall white population would follow in 2042. The earlier estimate did not take into account a drop in the number of people moving into the U.S. because of the economic crisis and the immigration policies imposed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
And that suggests another idea, best expressed by an English gentleman in 1843:
The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to One. He advanced towards it trembling. The Phantom was exactly as it had been, but he dreaded that he saw new meaning in its solemn shape.
"Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point," said Scrooge, "answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?"
Still the Ghost pointed downward to the grave by which it stood.
"Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge. "But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me."
The Spirit was immovable as ever.
Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as he went; and following the finger, read upon the stone of the neglected grave his own name, EBENEZER SCROOGE.
Further comment unnecessary.

This problem is exacerbated by white reproduction rates. How do we convince white civilization to start having more babies?
I'd say it goes back to this earlier posting: "What's the appeal of a squishy-soft, apologetic, guilt-ridden identity?"
Actually, I'm seeing signs of a turnaroud already, with more women choosing to be full-time mothers.
WAKE UP WHITE PEOPLE!
My wife and I have been doing our part for years to see that our race does not become a minority, or worse, become extinct.
We have eight children now and, God willing, perhaps more in the future. We are teaching them to go and have large families as well.
We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.

Part of the problem is that for working people it is very difficult to have more than one or two children.
Too true. I have two young children and it is all I can do to keep my sanity. My wife and I had planned on having 5+ kids but now we are thinking about calling it quits -- or waiting six or seven years to have another (we are both very young).
I actually found this article to be somewhat encouraging. It showed that Hispanic population growth is much more tied to immigration rates than I thought and that white minority status is not neccessarily inevitable. If the economy continues to lag, we could actually see a net decrease in immigration. Also, studies show that the birth rates of immigrant groups are high initially but trend towards the national average after only one or two generations. This means that the Hispanic birth rate will slow as long as immigration lags.
Also, high birth rate groups like Mormons and members of the Quiverfull movement will become a higher percentage of the white population with each generation, meaning that the abnormally high birth rates of these groups could push up the overall white birth rate.
