Is this the actions of a dying breed?

(Please, Let me say I'm not man bashing-not trying to just bring something to light.)

I have honestly been trying to find a study done that showed White males are declining in America. I saw the study a couple years ago BUT I didn't think anything of it. I honestly thought it was a narrow-minded article. Than I've seen some things in my personal life and Than with various articles about people being openly racist and now this attack on Women. Are we seeing some men frighten that they are "loosing control" of what they once had.

They are becoming a smaller proportion of the population (dropping below 50%) as non-White groups (primarily Hispanics) increase at a faster rate. However, Whites will continue to be the largest single group for the foreseeable future.

for the first time. In another decade they will outnumber people in their 20s and then in another decade their 30s. But I wouldn't call Whites a dying breed.

And yes. This scares the living daylights out of them. I think all those 'papers please' laws in Arizona are a White reaction to this fact. It also explains the coming-out-of-the-closet racists running around with their hair on fire.

I'm a lover not a fighter though and always will be.
Old white men in the position of power is a dying breed, yes. I say that and I'm an old white man who knows which side of my toast is buttered and by whom. I'll stand with the girls every time no matter the reason. I wouldn't trade my wife for a million men and I'm not talking sex here either, I'm talking solid as a rock, sweet as honey, firm as big oak tree, lovable as a new born. For the most part I don't find that in men.
