New figures released by the US Census Bureau yesterday show that non-Whites and Hispanics now constitute a majority in the under-16 age group, NBC News reports.
Experts estimate that non-Hispanic Whites will be a minority within 25 years.
In the last decade, the Hispanic population in the United States has grown by 20%, mostly from population growth rather than immigration. The Black population grew by almost 12% during the same period, while the White population increased by just 4.3%.
