Current Events > How do we encourage white people to have children?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Serious topic, I saw this today;

The topic title.

wew.

And the immediate response! Like a magnet of terrible! Polar opposites, both revolting!

---

It's the course of nature. I for one welcome a mixed race future

---

Better question: How do we encourage all people to have less children?

---

Misleading. Pew is classifying all hispanics as non white even though Pew admits that Hispanic is not a race. Over half of hispanics called themselves "white". While this may be disputed, it still needs to be taken into account.

So white people are still the majority race, but if you lump every other race together then they are the minority. lol

Also, I wonder how long post 2 will last. Disgusting.

---

Isn't only Hispanics that are having more babies than whites? Blacks and Asians are also having kids less iirc.

---

Wew

Some of those responses are as expected

I've already reported him

they're still a plurality by a significant margin

---

Can the OP kindly elaborate on what the problem is with white people not being the majority in the country?

I wonder what it is about the first world and the middle/upper class that gets people having fewer kids.

Tax write-off? Doesn't work in 3rd world though

---

You'd think rich people would want more kids. For heirs and shit.

---

Honestly just give the US paid maternity leave and you'll probably see more people having children, because they could then afford to.

---

Raising a child can cost several hundred thousands of dollars if you include private schools and top tier colleges
it's a massive expense that generally has no return on investment if you're rich

Should they? That's a far right position to hold. Wouldn't it be better for white Europeans to open their borders, hearts, and wallets to those seeking a better life?

---

Ugh that Twitter thread. Americans needs to worry less about what color these children are and worry more about the fact that they can't do math. When your demographic is almost double the second highest (that technically isn't a race) you aren't a minority.

Are you under the impression that Europe is entirely white? Because it's not.

---

fuck the white people re-population thing. america needs more children born in it general. not the same thing as bringing in migrants.

reform divorce laws to with. bring back industrial and manufacturing jobs. a technician in one of those blue collar jobs should be able to support a family of 3+ children as it was before.

---

How many of those "nonwhite" babies actually 50% or more white? White people are having children, they're just not being racist about it.

I married a Korean

RIP white race

---

Why does it matter? What will happen when white people make up 'only' a little under half of the population?

---

Maybe now that they are becoming the minority, people of color can actually enjoy in the priveledge that whites have enjoyed for so long.

That aside, I agree with the poster that said we should worry about kids learning math. Education is immensely undervalued in the US.

Europe is a melting pot that needs much more diversity!

makes me wonder how pure someones heart is whenever they mask this very strong notion of revenge with a superficial equality facade.

having less children is usually a sign of better education and financial stability. So if youre really that concerned about being overrun with minorities, you could always start a scholarship fund for them?

It's just an opinion. Clearly there are differing views on the topic.

I wish it were that simple. South Africa still has too much white privilege even though they take affirmative action very seriously and are attempting to redistribute land away from white people. They just need to keep going with that type of work until everything is fair.

white privilege is not simply a function of whites being the majority in a given place

not exactly sure what you're getting at here, but the word you're looking for regarding south africa is "decolonization" and if you know anything about the last 50 years in south africa, you will know that it is objectively a positive thing for the majority of the people there

What the fuck

There's plenty of hispanics with lighter skin than I, a caucasian. Are they not white?

Who fucking cares if white people arent having kids

Nah, then they have to share their money. Also, they have their money so they dont have to hope a child becomes someone that makes the family money.

---

Eventually they'll just draft other people that previously didn't qualify into the fold to boost numbers. Problem solved.

---

Overpopulation is a real issue. All races need to have less children.

So that's why standardized tests always said "white, not hispanic"

no. overpopulation is a fascist myth. there's more than enough resources to feed and house everyone; they're just not being distributed well.

also nations tend to decrease in population past certain stages of development

I'm 100% serious here, and my statements are accurate

Sounds like we should have been and should be fighting climate change then. Makes more sense than saying we should make a multi generational effort to adjust to it. We could have more children and harm the environment less if we wanted to.

---

why exactly do we need to encourage whites to have more kids
are they afraid of becoming a minority in america
i dont see the problem with that....are minorities in america treated poorly or something?

---

Interesting that this topic is still not deleted, yet I bet if someone called TC what he is theyd be warned asap

there is a problem with overconsumption in the west, and people are absolutely going to have to change individual consumption habits, probably with some sort of state mandate. but in terms of the environmental impact, it's still less important than restrictions placed on the largest polluting corporations

A single western baby is consuming enough resources for a half dozen developing countries.
