"Term 'Minority' Criticized As Outdated"
[QUOTE]"Term 'Minority' Criticized As Outdated"
What do you call a minority that is becoming the majority? News that Texas is the fourth state in which non-Hispanic whites make up less than 50 percent of residents has renewed discussion about whether the term "minority" has outlived its usefulness; critics include both liberals and conservatives. While some think the complaints are mere nitpicking, others argue the word is increasingly inaccurate, obsolete and even offensive. The majority of residents in Texas, California, New Mexico, Hawaii and Washington, D.C., are some ethnicity other than non-Hispanic whites, according to Census Bureau population estimates released last week. Five other states, including New York and Georgia, could 'go dark' by 2010. Soon, more than one-third of Americans will live in states where Latinos, blacks, Asians, American Indians and other ethnic groups outnumber whites. Such demographic shifts have given rise to the term "majority-minority."

Yeah, let's switch from the notion of minohties being oppressed to majority being oppressed by a minority. Isn't it even a bigger outrage, a white minority not wanting to share?
Rhetoric changes but the goals of ethnic warfare stay. Only fools believe that this is about fairness and that they can appease enemies into playing nice.

How about calling them the "New Bosses", or more suitably, "Nuevos Padrones" instead?

Translation: when Whites become a minority, all special privileges for minorities must be revoked.

Now you guys know how the Palestinian people felt when the invading Zionists came from Erurope in order to take over their land.
But is ok I can see the future where the "minority" white will wear a heavy coat and blow themselves up in a "Taco Bell". :clap:

[QUOTE=arkady]Translation: when Whites become a minority, all special privileges for minorities must be revoked.[/QUOTE] Not only that, they'll switch to privileges for majorities like in South Africa. Only the quotas of duskies will grow according to their growing numbers.
