By the numbers: Since 2010, non-Hispanic white people have become the minority in 32 more U.S. counties — for a total of 372 counties, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The trends are largely due to a rise in Hispanic and Asian immigrants as well as slightly higher birth rates among non-whites.
Next year, the entire under 18 population will be majority non-white, according to William Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer and author of "Diversity Explosion: How New Racial Demographics are Remaking America."
In less than a decade, the population under 30 will be majority non-white.

We've known this was in the cards for 50 years. Now it is upon us. Whom does it help politically in the electoral college? Since non-whites are more likely to vote for Democrats, you might think this change helps Democrats more than Republican. Not so fast! It might help Democrats in the long run, but in 2016, it helped Trump and hurt Clinton. The smart people say that anxiety among whites shifted many of them from swing voters to the candidate who was addressing their anxiety. Trump is trying to replicate that phenomenon in 2020.
