There is a large generational gradient here which may be relevant. As of 2016 non-hispanic white is just slightly less than 50% of births [0]. The 1 in 3 number is a good estimate for the entire US population, but the school age population is trending toward the 1:1 we see in births.

- MrDresden 5y agoThat is genuinely interesting. I guess there will be a seismic shift for many things in U.S society over the coming decades, where one of the more interesting would be voting patterns.

- MrDresden 5y agoI never suggested there was an open border policy to the greater world when it comes to the EU/EFTA. Only that the U.S border cannot in any way be called an open border, as it does not allow free movement of people and goods across its borders when arriving from another country. While selective in who it is open for, the Schengen Area can be called open as it requires no visa's or passports and allows complete freedom of movement for citizens of those countries that have signed up for the agreement.
