A Demographic Tipping Point
William Frey of The Brookings Institution writes that America has reached “its demographic tipping point.” According to Frey, data from the 2010 Census show that 49.8 percent of infants under age were were members of a racial or ethnic minority group.
Moreover, as the map below shows, infants belonging to racial and ethnic minority groups account for “at least 40 percent of infants in more than half of all states, with the white share of infants declining in all of them, with the exception of the District of Columbia.”
