Not sure how much someone from Spain has in common with someone from Argentina or Guatemala.<br /><br />Second, you state that 1) There will be more Hispanics than Whites before 2050; and 2) They underperform.<br /><br />You cite no studies to back up those assertions. Key questions:<br /><br />Is the growth of the Hispanic from higher fertility, or from immigration?<br /><br />If they are from immigration, show evidence that Hispanic immigrants under or outperform other immigrant groups in the past. My personal impression is that, as a group, they work very hard (and harder than native born Whites). That would the essence of the immigrant experience.<br /><br />If the growth is from higher fertility rates, then show the evidence of the difference in fertility rates, or difference in age demographics that lead to such a conclusion. If so, why would you not want a younger population as that would address the demographic time bomb that America is facing?<br /><br />Or is the problem that "brown people" are going to take over America?<br />Cam Hui, CFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672203690656029787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816559531110064247.post-51619909303383315062014-08-12T11:58:44.744-07:002014-08-12T11:58:44.744-07:00I'm sure he didn't consider the more asian...I'm sure he didn't consider the more asian agnle because there is no need to. It's inconsequential. As you know, it's all about hispanics.<br /><br />But back to why i really wrote.<br /><br />ticker db.

I think you mean population gr...<i>demographic growth</i><br /><br />I think you mean population growth. Or perhaps changes in the demographic makeup of the population as it grows.<br /><br />Population growth in the US is bringing <b>ethnic demographic change</b> -- ie a recent story featured on the Drudge site told how Whites are no longer a majority of kids entering school; likely before 2050, and assuming current immigration/birthrate trends do not change, they will no longer be even the largest ethnic group -- that will be Hispanics.<br /><br />Data clearly shows that Hispanics create far less wealth per capita than Whites -- they do significantly less well in school, and are more criminal (you get a hint of this by looking at the state of the countries where these immigrants are coming from).<br /><br />Question: Do you -- or anyone -- consider those facts in your observations?eahnoreply@blogger.com
