Non-Hispanic White: Non-Hispanic Whites

Non-Hispanic White Dept: The United States is in the midst of a historic demographic shift with important political implications. In 1950, non-Hispanic whites comprised 78 per cent of the U.S. population. Today that figure is 63 per cent and by 2040 it is expected to be less than 50 per cent, according to Globe and Mail. That number will only increase because Latinos represent more than 22 per cent of U.S. citizens under the age of 18, including an astounding 51 and 48 per cent of underage citizens in our two most populous states, California and Texas and I can happily report the answer is a resounding no but that does not mean the U.S.-Canada partnership is free of potential hurdles. And the demographic transformation is even starker in our electorate. Bill Clinton secured his second presidential term in office from an electorate that was 82.5 per cent non-Hispanic white. The electorate that returned Barack Obama to the Oval Office 16 years later was only 72 per cent non-Hispanic white, with Latinos representing 10 per cent of the national electorate.
