"The US census makes a critical assumption that undermines its prediction of a majority -non-white country.

It projects that the same number of people who currently identify themselves as "Latino or Asian" will continue to claim those identities in future generations....

History shows that as ethnics groups assimilate into American culture, they increasingly identify themselves as "white"...

In the 2010 Census, 53% of Latino's identified as "white", as did more than half of the Asian Americans of mixed parentage...

Unless ethnic identification is defined in purely racial - and - racist terms, the census the projection are straight out wrong and profoundly misleading.

So is the assumption that Latinos and Asians will continue to vote at an overwhelming clip for Democrats.

The view, which underpins the whole idea of a "new American majority" , ignores the diversity that already prevails among voters lumped together as "Latino or Asian".

Cuban-Americans in Miami vote very differently from Mexican-Americans in Los Angles; immigrants from Japan or Viet Nam come from starkly different cultures than those from south Korea or China."
