If you thought it was annoying when you had to actively choose English over Spanish in your automated phone call, just wait until you become a minority and they are the majority..... that sort of thing. Less about skin color, and more about changes in way of life.

This hits upon something that I have felt for a long time. The change in racial numbers is predicted to take decades. We have a culture here that assimilates other cultures into itself (sounds a bit like the Borg from Star Trek, eh!). It adopts things from cultures that it likes and rejects other stuff. At the same time, it also imposes or introduces aspects of other cultures on the new cultures. This is why my Italian friend from high school now leads a Celtic band and my best friend (who is black) sings country and western music at a VFW post every other Friday night.

The stuff in the pot will melt, right.

One of the aspects of modern Western culture is low birthrates. I suspect birthrates for Hispanic citizens will eventually decrease to match those of other races as Hispanics become more assimilated into American culture. In the end ther may or may not be more Hispanic people in the U.S. than white people, but it won't really matter.
