Your thread title implies that the statistics you present have something to do with National Geographic. They don't.

Here is the National Geographic article.

The U.S. Census Bureau has collected detailed data on multiracial people only since 2000, when it first allowed respondents to check off more than one race, and 6.8 million people chose to do so.

The article is subscription based.. Anyway not that it matters. I didn't not believe those stats.

Here ya go.... I was able to get a quick screen cap before the subscription banner popped up if anyone was wondering. I didn't post the original topic, just trying to help out...

The statistics do not come from National Geographic. The National Geographic article is about the increasing number of people who consider themselves to be multiracial.

In lieu of any opinion or comment offered by the OP, I think the OP thinks that's bad.

Asians, which include the people of India and China already approximately account for upwards of 60% of the world population at present.


From: Demographics of the World

(You may have to subtract Russians and other peoples that live in Asia from these stats.)

You can also say American Indians and 'Hispanics' are also Asian since their ancestors crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.

That explains the push for self driving cars.

Thanks for that comment. I just had a nice laugh and must clean water from my desk.

As a straight white male I will put this down to the Western women simply letting themselves go all whist screaming feminist at the top of their lungs.

There was a famous thread from many years ago from a chat board it ended up with replies in the thousands regarding why Men (American?) where so unhappy in their relationships/marriages and the general consensus was that the "modern American" women was to blame with all the copious wants and must haves.

No wonder white guys are dating Asian women at the rate they are... Hence the spike you will see in the future

I thought this was going to be an infographic on how fat humans are getting compared to the thin muscular look our ancestors had due to having to work for everything they needed.

It looks like the 20% ers are ethereal beings...interesting...or maybe the 20% has been put aside for alien contact.

Cynical part of me says how can you not think it's bad? Do you want the USA to turn into Mexico?

So, that accounts for 80%... What about the other 20%? I'm not entirely sure this article was professionally written...

a reply to: Jekka

The other 20% are people who identify as "white" but cannot be categorized as white by chuckleheads and peckerwoods because they have at least one drop of non-white blood.

In other words, the OP is FOS.

You registered today just to post this? Hummmm...This call for a conspiracy. Have at 'em folks.

My wife is from the Philippines and could not be happier.

I don't think anything is wrong with the article. Mixed couples are becoming more acceptable than ever before, unless you're in the deep south. And in time that will even change. It's not saying you should marry outside your race, but maybe your kids will and so on. But then people will just find something else to separate us

You just described both conservatives and progressives. People tend to ignore how similarly they act.

and one more thing , Pretty sure people look like this right now...
