I think you'll simply see a redefining of the term "minority". Hispanics will be merged with whites (they're all European anyway). I never really understood how hispanics got to be a "minority".

Um, that only works if you group everyone else into "non-whites", which is ... well, at best ridiculous, at worst just plain racist. According to that chart, even in 2050 whites will still be the single largest group.

I think it's ridiculous that someone who is half-black is expected to list themselves as black only.

The whole concept of REPORTING race in this country is a huge part of the problems that exist in race relations.
