Becoming A Minority

White people are a minority in almost 1 in 10 American counties. Black and Hispanic people are outnumbering the white population in once white-dominated areas and increasing numbers of residents are complaining, according to reports. Experts warn that the spread of immigrant communities from cities to the suburbs and beyond is fuelling resentment.

Greg Letiecq, who campaigns against illegal immigration in Prince William County, Virginia, said: "It's not about ethnicity, it's not about race. It's about lawful behaviour versus unlawful behaviour." But illustrating a prevailing resentment, he added: "It's the folks who come in and try to maintain the culture of the country they came from. They don't seem to embrace the American culture, the English language, the social norms of American culture."

Such statements will no doubt be construed as "racist" by liberals, who don't seem to think this kind of thing is a problem.

Given that whites are becoming a minority in these counties, do you think local authorities will enforce positive discrimination in employment and services to make it easy for them, as they do when other races are in the minority? Seems unlikely, doesn't it?
