We're running out of WHITE PEOPLE!!!

The number of White people in the U.S. fell for first time since 1790, according to new data from the 2020 Census

The number of White people in the U.S. fell for first time since 1790, according to new data from the 2020 Census.

The first detailed race and ethnicity breakdown from the 2020 count shows a country that has become more multiracial and racially and ethnically diverse especially among those 18 and under.

His mother was native American.

Came down to my brother and some cousins were dark skin.

I came out white.

It will be good to have more mixed race people.

My Grandchildren are beautiful.

they are Progressive, Liberal, Moderate and sane Conservative.

Republicans are doing their best to grab and hold onto power any means necessary.
