White births are at 49.6% of all births. Making in the first time in the USA that minority births outstrip whites. What is happening is the Great American Melting Pot is working and whites are becoming the largest minority in this nation.
Of course, this may have future political implications as your average Republican voter is a white middle age male or older. The plus is these voters are much more likely to vote. Republicans will need to change to become more encompassing. Democrats will need to encourage voting.
Thus, I see things like Voter ID and other laws becoming increasingly issues in our nation. If Republicans can disuade people by creating burdens to voting it's certainly in their favor to do so. If Democrats can encourage voting by making it as easily as possibley it's certainly in their favor to do so.
