Washington DC – Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the US, part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the US majority over the next forty years.

“Finally, some diversity,” said a white guy. “After all, we need diversity so… that is, we should have more minorities to… ummm. Well, it’s important that everyone is represented in the workplace even though it pushes the more qualified people to the side. Wait a minute, that sounds like racism. Ohhh, I see what you did there.”

“Yeah! We win!” shouted a minority man. As he climbed down from his chair and sat back down he added, “umm, so what does this mean? I mean, what do I get from this? Except more responsibility on the national level. Oh no. We have a lot to learn if we’re going to take the reins. Excuse me.”

A spokeswoman for the year 2050 called the news “on par”, “pretty much everything that we told you would happen in the year 2000 will happen in the year 2050. Mostly because of the Carter administration” and “bring some condoms, cause your mind is about to get [expletive deleted]ed. Sorry, that’s a popular saying in the future.”

“Oh, you won’t be worrying about race,” said a top Chinese General. “I know granting an interview for such a trivial study might seem absurd, but trust me, you won’t have to worry about anything come the summer.” After laughing to himself he added, “mostly because you’ll be dead.”
