US top court backs white firefighters

[Sasha]

You're confusing political minority for demographical minority. Not the same thing.



Sounds like you have a grudge against white men...

Even so, according to the last census, whites are still the majority, in all meanings, nationally.

And state wise in all but one state and in Washington, DC

Hawaii

I see no part about sexes... just self identified ethnicities.

Plus that census is out of date, and will be redone next year. I hate this whole 10 year thing.



Though I found this interesting;

Language other than English spoken at home, pct age 5+, 2000 17.9%

And? It was in response to "whites are becoming the minority" in only two places. White's aren't becoming the minority. Only in Washington, DC where African Americans are more numerous and in Hawaii where the population is dominantly Asian. Even in the poster of the comments state of Mass. white peple are the majority.

Women are more numerous but are the minority and hold less political and financial power. White men have always been the majority, always will.

For my last post, posted the country statistic link twice, here's Hawaii: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/15000.html

Are we talking politically or demographically? Because you're getting your terms mixed up.

Politically. I am NOT mixed up. Even demographically they are only the majority by less then a precentage point.

 

[Shishkabob]

You're arguing population demographics in one post and political demographics in the other... which one are we arguing?

 

[fortsmithman]

I hope that this thread is not the next to get locked.

I am arguing the fact that white people are not the minority in any sense of the word.

Doesn't make what happend to the fire fighters right, but all too often I see people whining "Us poor white people we are discriminated against now, too, and and and we are being outnumbered!" or "Us poor black people" or "Us poor asian people" or "Us poor one eyed one horned flying purple people eaters"

Equal is equal is equal. There will always be racism in the world, and I'm glad the fire fighters won their civil case.

 

[Shishkabob]

White people, or white men?

I am so lost at what you're arguing now.



Here, just so I know what we're fighting, please-

Who is / is not a minority?
A) White men politically
B ) White men demographically
C) White people politically
D) White people demographically
E) I like pizza

And yet, you posted about 2 places where they ARE the (a) minority.


See where my confusion sets in?




Where is the .gif of the smacking purple people when you need it?

No, I see where you are nitpicking.

Here, I'll make you happy.

Nationally speaking, and where the poster of that comment lives, white people are the majority in every sense of the word.

Anyone for a game of tennis?

If you really want to get down to it....the person with the least help from government/power is the 'Straight White guy with no underlying health problems or injuries! :deadhorse:
The main issue with this is an education thing, well that's what I read from it.
And again is there an issue that certain ethnic groups find it harder to learn than others? Which in turn causes them problems with filling out forms, sitting exams and finding work?
