On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden said it will be a \u201cgood thing\u201d when whites are an \u201cabsolute minority\u201d in America in 2017.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Census, though, has projected that America will be a majority-minority nation in 2044. The Census report, released in March, also projected that \u201cby 2060, nearly one in five of the nation\u2019s total population is projected to be foreign born.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy 2017, those of us of European stock will be an absolute minority in the United States of America,\u201d Biden said at a State Department luncheon for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. According to pool reports, Biden added that that\u2019s \u201cnot a bad thing, that\u2019s a good thing\u201d because it means the country is becoming more diverse.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Census Bureau revealed last week that in 2014, minorities made up a majority of children under five years of age in the United States for the first time.<\/p>\n
Biden is reportedly considering a run for the White House and his party\u2019s chances of keeping the White House depend on whether minorities and young voters who made up Obama\u2019s coalition turn out again with the same level of enthusiasm. Recent polling has found that non-white voters are less enthusiastic about the 2016 election than white voters who tend to lean more Republican.<\/p>\n
