Minority babies a majority for first time in U.S. history, census says
After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.
Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public today, while minorities — including Latinos, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.
