olyclimber Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Interesting to compare this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091216/ap_on_go_ot/us_white_minority to this: http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/skin-colour-map-indigenous-people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I suppose a more racially balanced society will, ultimately, result in a more balanced perception of justice. Of course, there are dozens of instances where small minorities have exercised effective control over state process via their monopolies over the "legitimate" means of violence. As for the second link: I'm not sure I agree with its validity on two fronts: First off, I think the cartographer has Peru/Western Bolivia/Northern Chile completely wrong. Secondly, I think anthropologists who go around measuring skulls and assessing skin tones have, in the past, demonstrated themselves to be among the most vile and racist humans on the planet.

ZimZam Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the title is somewhat misleading. Whites will still be in the majority. The other races in total will outnumber whites with the largest "competitor" being Latinos at 28%. Better lock the gates now as I'll be about 100 years old by that time. By then societies will be so homogenized that this statistic won't mean squat. Stinkin' im'grants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
