Minority kids are majority in 1 of 6 U.S. counties

That change is due both to the increase in the number of minority kids and to the declines in the number of non-Hispanic white kids, said the report, released by the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute on Wednesday. Last year, 34 percent of U.S. residents were minorities ( Hispanics, blacks and Asians), but 48 percent of babies born in the country were minorities. The number of white youths has dropped 5.3 percent since 2000 while the young minority population has grown 15.5 percent. The demographic change is happening so quickly that the youngest Americans are much more likely to be minorities than those who are a few years older, Kazinform cites Trend News.
