Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Whites a minority in half America's biggest cities
By Ben Fenton in Washington
Population and household economic topics - United States Census Bureau [2000]
WHITE people are now in a minority in almost half of America's 100 biggest
cities, according to figures from the 2000 census published yesterday.
Although the great metropolitan centres such as New York, Los Angeles and
Chicago have long been ethnic melting pots, smaller and more traditionally
European-American cities have joined the list of places where blacks,
Hispanics and Asians combine to outnumber whites.
They include Boston, where the white population has fallen from 59 per cent
in 1990 to 49.5 per cent. The city where the sitcom Cheers was set - a
programme without a leading black character - was famed more for its Irish
culture. But it is a typical example of the changing ethnic face of urban
America.
Another traditionally white city where people of European origin are now in
the minority is Milwaukee, home of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Miller
Lite beer and the clean-cut all-American lifestyle popularised in the
children's television programme Happy Days. There, the white proportion of
the city has dropped from 61 per cent in 1990 to 45 per cent.
Sacramento, the capital of California (53-40), Philadelphia (52-42) and San
Diego (59-49) are also now majority black and Hispanic cities. Anaheim,
California, has dropped from a 57 per cent white population to only 36 per
cent. The census figures show that 18 cities changed status from majority
white to minority white, leaving only 52 "white" cities in the largest 100.
Overall, out of a population of 58.4 million in the 100 largest cities, only
43 out of every 100 people are "non-Hispanic white". Ten years ago that
figure was 52 out of 100. The change is largely attributable to an enormous
growth in Hispanic populations; the percentage of blacks living in urban
areas has actually slightly dropped.
There were 19 cities which would have showed an overall drop in population
were it not for dramatic increases in Hispanics, including Los Angeles,
Miami, Dallas and Minneapolis. Experts say the figures partly reflect the
accelerated trend in the early 1990s for white people to move from cities to
the suburbs
