For the first time ever, the majority of American children under 5 years of age are non-white, according to new a Census Bureau report. The data, gathered in 2012, shows that in particular, immigration and high birth rates among Latinos has now shifted the balance such that the majority of babies born in the U.S. are of racial and ethnic minorities. The report also predict that within five years, more than half of all children under 18 will be minorities, and this will foreshadow an overall decline in U.S. white population.
