31. What's so important it? And not being over 50% of the population just means the largest MINORITY

Again, not rocket science as that percentage will continue to decrease as white birthrate is lower than some of the other minorities.

Already in some states minority school children outnumber whites.

It's a demographic reality that's not likely to be reversed.

But again, what's the big deal if everyone gets the same treatment?
