According to the US Census, White Hispanics constitute roughly 45% of the Hispanic population. So... whites are still 72-75% of the US population. At one time, Irish and Italians were not considered white. Now, they blend into the great American melting pot.Not that it should matter, people should be judged by their character and ability, not their race. There is no reason for whites to panic, the white population isn't shrinking, we're just getting more multicultural.- zack

I get your point, but let's not go overboard here. Same (to anyone with any intelligence) with Italians.I'd just like to take the oppornunity to reiterate that Americans are way too hung up on race when ethnicity is the classification of any value. When rednecks or any other half-brained Americanized white person (as an example) discriminates against white Cubans or white Argentinians or even white Mexicans (yes, they do exist), they are not showing off their racism, they are showing off their intolerance of a perceived ethnic group (as opposed to racial).That's actually not totally true. The Irish were likened to monkeys. Wasn't just because of being Catholic. I once saw an "evolutionary" chart which was meant to be offensive and was done at the time many Irish were coming over. The chart had a Protestant English looking gentleman in a suit, ..., Irish man... then a black man, then a monkey. There were cartoons where the Irish were drawn to resemble ape like features. <---- Black, Irish, and Catholic. LOL,
