The US is projected by Pew Research to have a minority white population by 2050. Already white births are in the minority. This change is projected primarily because of high Latino immigration and the high fertility rates for that group compared to whites. Blacks are projected to remain at 13% of the population while Latinos will rise to 29% from 14% now. Asians are projected to increase from 5 to 9 percent of the population.
