Most UK births now non-white?

[Nottseagull]

Just thought I heard on the radio in the background that non-white births in the UK now outnumber white ones! This would be shocking even if it was just England, but the whole of the UK? Someone please tell me I misheard!

[ees complicated no?]

In some parts of England this is prob the sace TBH.

It's in some parts of the US.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm shocked. I opened this expecting to see a Daily Mail headline.

 

[The Grockle]

Highly unlikely seeing as Britain as a whole is a little over 92% white!

Who cares? One day we'll all be a lovely shade of light brown.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Its the USA i believe, which doesnt surprise me - just a story to set the people in the deep south off.

Indeed...50.4% of new births in USA, were 'non-white'.

Is now the time to start manufacturing pointy black hats, ready for 2032....?

300 years ago it would have been 100% non white in the US though!!

Not if you live in Grimsby and only see the sun for 8 weeks a year.

I may not be 'with it' today, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't see the connection with pursuit cycling, or that year (or maybe you meant 8.32 this evening?)
