Wow, really? I didn't know that America had such a high non-white population. I wonder what the UK stats are (where I live)...? It seems like a lot less in my area.

[(Anonymous)]

According to Wikipedia, it's actually 72.4% (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity).

[(Anonymous)]

This is because the US Census does not count Hispanic in these recordings because Hispanics can be of any race. Hispanic is self-determined. Over 50% identify as white and about 40% identify with no race.

[(Anonymous)]

da

Neither did I. I've always been slightly fustrated at the whitey mcwhiterson of american movies, but figured they were at least being true to stats

Now? Urgh, to realise the majority of people and types are ignore for the privileged minority >:[

[(Anonymous)]

What? I think you read that incorrectly. In the US, whites are not a minority.

math fail

[(Anonymous)]

72% of the population is a minority now...

[(Anonymous)]

I live in an area of the US where whites are not a majority, just one group among many. It is very very mixed.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, the part if the US I live in it's almost an even break between whites and hispanics for whose the 'dominant' group. It's always a little bit of a shock when I go somewhere that has a predominately white population.

[(Anonymous)]

I've got about the same though black-white with noticeable immigrant populations. It's really New England and the Midwest that are overwhelmingly white (not the South as most people erroneously think- a great deal of blacks and Hispanics, as well as a sizeable Asian population, live there).

[(Anonymous)]

For my area it's 40/30 whites and hispanics with a further breakdown for blacks and other races (predominantly eastern/southern asia). I'm moving in a few weeks to a city that's 70/20 white/black and I'm not looking forward to the culture shock.

[(Anonymous)]

Depends in part on the area. I live in a majority black city. The Appalachias where Katniss was supposed to be from? Pretty damn white presently.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but Appalachia is becoming less overwhelmingly white due to Hispanic immigration into the mountains due to opportunities in the Christmas tree, construction, agricultural, horse farm, and poultry plant industries.

Wait. Can we be clear about this because there seems to be some confusion. According to the 2010 US Census 63.4% of the population is white, non-Hispanic. 13% are black, and 16.7% are Hispanic or Latino origin. White people are NOT a minority by any stretch of the imagination.

[(Anonymous)]

Dude, the OP said the same thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but it seems that other people are thinking that OP meant the population was 63% minority.

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you surprised? The US is highly multicultural and can claim immigrants from pretty much anywhere around the world. There's about 12.5% black and 13% Hispanic. So that's 25.5% who can't be white. Add in 5% Asian, 1% Amerindian and Alaskan Native, 3% multiracial, and 6% other, and it's not surprising.

Hispanics are mostly concentrated in the South and the West, as well as big cities. Blacks are mostly in the South and the Eastern Seabord, as well as big cities. Asians are more common in the West and Hawai'i, as well as, again, big cities. So, if you don't live in the South, the Eastern Seaboard, Hawai'i, California, Alaska, a big city, or near a military base, you probably live in a majority white area.

This is based on self-reporting, though. Our president is black-white mixed but is considered African-American. Many people will claim Amerindian lineage but won't put themselves down as "Other", the designation for anyone not fitting into the major groups.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm surprised because... idk, the areas I've lived in are so white (and Asian, but that felt like an anomaly compared to the rest of the country) that I wouldn't have estimated 25%-45% of the people in the UK total were non-white.

I suppose the UK (at least where I live/go regularly) doesn't have much of a Hispanic population at all, which might account for some of the difference. Most of the black and Asian and other ethnic groups' population are in various areas of London, but even so I didn't realise just how multicultural London was compared to less big-city areas. I guess I'm just stuck in the 'old days', when I was the only non-white person in my junior school class... anyway, I've also never been to America, so I just going through a "what, the USA isn't just a clone of a couple of English towns that I'm familiar with?" train of thought.

[(Anonymous)]

No the UK is 85% white British, so there is only a 15% non white population. The figures above are all for the US. You are right, I live in London which is more mixed, but as a whole the UK is very white.
