America has reached a landmark point as, for the first time in its modern history, most of the babies being born there are non-white.
White children aged under one are outnumbered by those from ethnic minorities including blacks, Hispanics, Asians and mixed race, US Census Bureau figures show.
Of the four million children born in the US in the 12 months to July 2011, 50.4 per cent were from ethnic minorities. That compares with 37 per cent in 1990.
The figures also reveal the prolonged impact of a weak economy, which is resulting in fewer Hispanics entering the U.S.
Edging up: The percentage of total births in America has included more and more minorities over the past decade
Changing demographic: A chart showing the breakdown of racial and ethnic minority births for the 12-month period ending July 2011 compared to whites
Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau who is now a sociologist at Howard University, said: 'This is an important landmark. This generation is growing up much more accustomed to diversity than its elders.'

In recent years, births have been declining for both whites and minorities as many women held off having children due to the economic slump, although the drop has been larger for whites.
The report comes as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the legality of Arizona's strict immigration law, with many states weighing similar get-tough measures.
In flux: A bar chart showing the population projections for the U.S. over the next 40 years. Some now believe ethnic minorities will outnumber whites before 2040
Mr Harrison said: 'We remain in a dangerous period where those appealing to anti-immigration elements are fueling a divisiveness and hostility that might take decades to overcome.'
As a whole, the nation's minority population continues to rise, following a higher-than-expected Hispanic count in the 2010 census.
Minorities increased 1.9 per cent to 114.1 million, or 36.6 per cent of the total U.S. population, lifted by prior waves of immigration that brought in young families and boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.
But a recent slowdown in the growth of the Hispanic and Asian populations is shifting notions on when the tipping point in U.S. diversity will come - the time when non-Hispanic whites become a minority.

'Dangerous period': Protesters campaign against Arizona's immigration law outside the U.S. Supreme Court, which is reviewing the state's controversial law
After 2010 census results suggested a crossover as early as 2040, demographers now believe the pivotal moment may be pushed back several years when new projections are released in December.
The annual growth rates for Hispanics and Asians fell sharply last year to just over two per cent, roughly half the rates in 2000 and the lowest in more than a decade. The black growth rate stayed flat at 1 per cent.
The immigrants staying put in the U.S. for now include Narcisa Marcelino, 34, a single mother who lives with her two daughters, ages 10 and 5, in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

After crossing into the U.S. from Mexico in 2000, she followed her brother to the eastern part of the state just outside the Baltimore-Washington region.

Identities: Census respondents choose their race by selecting either one option (ie- White alone) or more than one option (ie- White in combination). This chart shows the breakdown of those selections

Fewer white cities: This chart shows that only a handful of cities- like New York, San Diego, LA, San Francisco and Seattle- saw an increase in their non-Hispanic white populations over the past decade
The Martinsburg area is known for hiring hundreds of migrants annually to work in fruit orchards. Its Hispanic growth climbed from 14 per cent to 18 per cent between 2000 and 2005 before shrinking last year to 3.3 per cent, still above the national average.
Marcelino says she sells food from her home to make ends meet for her family and continues to hope that one day she will get a hearing with immigration officials to stay legally in the U.S.

She aspires to open a restaurant and is learning English at a community college so she can help other Spanish-language speakers.

If she is eventually deported, 'it wouldn't be that tragic,' Marcelino said. 'But because the children have been born here, this is their country. And there are more opportunities for them here.'
According to the latest data, the percentage growth of Hispanics slowed from 4.2 percent in 2001 to 2.5 percent last year. Their population growth would have been even lower if it weren't for their relatively high fertility rates - seven births for every death. The median age of U.S. Hispanics is 27.6 years.
Still the majority: Even though the minority birth rate is changing demographically, the majority race of the overall population remains non-Hispanic white
Rallies about race: Immigration rights have been a hot-button issue in the past decade, as seen as this Los Angeles rally in 2010 (left) and one in Mississippi in 2006 (right). Sociologists fear anti-immigration elements are fuelling a divisiveness that could take decades to overcome


Hispanic Population By State: This map shows what percentage of each state's population in 2010 is Hispanic
Births actually have been declining for both whites and minorities as many women postponed having children during the economic slump. But the drop since 2008 has been larger for whites, who have a median age of 42.
The number of white births fell by 11.4 per cent, compared with 3.2 percent for minorities, according to Kenneth Johnson, a sociologist at the University of New Hampshire.
Blacks, who comprise about 12.3 per cent of the population, have increased at a rate of about 1 percent each year.
In all, 348 of the nation's 3,143 counties, or 1 in 9, have minority populations across all age groups that total more than 50 percent. In a sign of future U.S. race and ethnic change, the number of counties reaching the tipping point increases to more than 690, or nearly 1 in 4, when looking only at the under age 5 population.
The census report also found that four states � Hawaii, California, New Mexico and Texas � as well as the District of Columbia have minority populations exceeding 50 per cent.
The census estimates used local records of births and deaths, tax records of people moving within the U.S., and census statistics on immigrants. The figures for 'white' refer to those whites who are not of Latino ethnicity.


Sooner or later there will be a backlash resulting from all this ethnic / racial / religious diversity. Many white people are feeling trapped in their own country.
Coming to a town near you very soon along with a change of your religion.
