The Census Bureau has just released a projection of the American population through 2060, and it makes grim reading. Whites will become a minority in 2042, and by 2060, will be just 43.6 percent of the population. The transition for children under age 18 will be much sooner: They will become a minority in 2020–in just five years–and in 2060 will be just 35 percent of all children in the country. A newborn white baby is already a minority in his age group.

- Ashkenazi Jews are not treated as a separate racial group, and therefore are likely included in the Non-Hispanic White category. Assuming the approximately 6.4 million Jews in the US as of 2014 are in this category, Jewish Whites would have been approximately 2% and Non-Hispanic/Non-Jewish Whites would have been approximately 60.1% of the US population in 2014.
