OT: UH welcomes record-breaking 2024 Freshman class

The point is that once a generation of “Hispanics” stop speaking Spanish they will be just as “White” as Italians, Greeks, French, etc. once English became their main language.

And for the definition of “Latin” it literally means “deriving from the Italian peninsula” as in people/culture/language/ religion/ food/ etc.

It’s not going to be white vs non-white…we are slowly creating a new ‘American’ race and yes Hispanic Whites will be a huge component of that makeup…but so will WASPS, ethnic whites, African Americans, Asians, Indians, etc.

.

Infrastructure in newer suburbs (post-80s) typically have a useful life of 25-30 years before they start needing maintenance.

If you look at Katy ISD, it’s facing a $20 Million budget shortfall right now.

I’m not saying Katy is going to turn into a slum, but I’m saying that the costs will eventually start piling up in the 2030s

yeah, they’re not having enough kids lol…

I think Hispanics are slowly becoming white by census, but an “American race” is a century away.

There are so many issues that are still largely
driven by race

This is absurd. There is, and should continue to be, a celebration of different cultures. Maybe you’ll be right in 10,000 years - you’ve been reading Asimov apparently. In the meantime, Africans can’t become one race - yes there is a huge difference between Nigerians and Somalis. Nor can Arabs or Asians.

Nor are Hispanics all members of one race.

There are Black Hispanics like Yordan Alvarez and Manny Ramirez, White Hispanics like Princess Leonor of Spain, Asian Hispanics like former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, and Multi-racial Hispanics like former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.

Can anybody honestly tell me that THESE Hispanics…AREN’T White?

Or that these Hispanics aren’t Black?

Or that these Hispanics aren’t Asian?

Moreover, can anybody truly tell me that, given what you see above, all Hispanics are members of one race, or that there’s even really such a thing as a “Hispanic” race?

WHOA!

I NEVER said to not celebrate other cultures…in fact, I was defending the German cultural influence to the Mexican culture (which is often overlooked)…i said, as Americans mix…we will see a more homogeneous race…but closer to Southern Italy (Greeks + Romans+ Arabs + French +Northern Africans + Spanish, etc) than Japanese (little mix)

The reason I still disagree with this is because marriage is still largely driven by socioeconomic class

People are likelier to marry someone within their same socioeconomic bracket, and as of today, racial wealth gaps are not only still in place but are significantly getting wider

There’s going to be a $70 Trillion dollar wealth transfer once baby boomers die. What demographic of people do you think will benefit from that?

What I will think will change is that housing will no longer be specifically purposed for families, but that more single people will start buying homes for themselves instead of traditional culture of renting an apartment before buying a house with a spouse

Or college educated vs non-college educated regardless of race.

if a WHITE Hispanic has a child in the United states and future generations ditch the Spanish language…those future generations will be viewed as WHITE.

There are only TWO things making a WHITE Hispanic “Hispanic” right now…

  1. Their European ancestor first immigrated to a country south of the United States FIRST
  2. They speak Spanish

If their descendants STOP speaking Spanish…they will become White Americans.

We have 500 years of history of this happening. Formerly French Speaking Cajuns are now viewed as White Red Necks.

I am Italian so let me put this is perspective. In the early 1920s, they passed STRICT Immigration laws essentially prohibiting “Latin” Whites, like Italians, from, entering the United States. They WANTED Northern European Anglos.

My family got in right before that deadline but for those Italians that did NOT…they were forced to immigrate to Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay Colombia, etc.

An example is Shakira’s Italian family …had they migrated straight to New York City, instead of Colombia…she would be classified as a White American and not “Hispanic”

why are you responding to me? we already know what you are posting…all i said was white Americans aren’t having enough kids, and for a country who’s entire system requires “growth”, it will become a future problem for the entire country

Need to step it up in the bedroom. Get to making them babies😂

Cy-Fair ISD has a deficit of $1170 per student vs $268 per student in Katy, which funded its deficit with its substantial rainy day funds.

Meanwhile Lamar CISD in Rosenberg had a surplus due to higher than expected housing tax contributions.

Black Hispanics don’t identify as black in America

Dominicans treat Haitians like trash even though they share an island

Bellaire was a blue collar farming suburb - westbury area and the Lee hs area near the galleria probably was more well off for quite some time until the redevelopments occurred in the 90s then Bellaire became more prestigious :joy:

Yes, I am responding to you .because White Hispanics having kids, in the US, is “having” White Kids and fueling the while population

That’s what I am saying.

With each passing generation, the need to speak Spanish diminishes and their European ancestry is all that matters…just as with 500 years of Europeans migration into the current United States.

When I recruited NM Scholars at UH in the early ‘90s, Bellaire had the most in the state.

Are you sure?

Because the last census I took had no “Hispanic” racial category. You identified as Hispanic or not only AFTER first identifying your race (Hispanic wasn’t one of the racial categories offered).

I’m guessing that most Black Hispanics that participated in that census didn’t identify as White.

ok, and they still aren’t having enough kids lol, Americans born in America aren’t having enough kids, better?
