Children from racial and ethnic minorities now account for more than half the births in the US, according to estimates of the latest US census data.

Black, Hispanic, Asian and mixed-race births made up 50.4% of new arrivals in the year ending in July 2011.

Just as well they have a black president then. I guess the rednecks will just have to get used to that - there are clearly more on the way :-)

Having more than 50% of the births does not necessarily mean having more than 50% of the population. Although if that hasn't been reached yet then I don't think it would take too long.

If there are 2 apples, 3 oranges, 4 kiwis and 5 bananas then bananas make up less than half the bowl, but they're still the most numerous fruit.
