From 1992 to 2012, the non-Hispanic white population grew by 3.7% — or by a mere 0.2% per year

Over the same period, the minority population grew by 81%. Among minority groups, non-Hispanic Asians grew fastest, up 127%. The Hispanic population rose 119%. Non-Hispanic Blacks were up 36%. If the actual 1992-2012 trend remains in place i.e. if current immigration continues, it is estimated that non-Hispanic whites will reach minority status in 2032 - this is not the same as the electorate, which will remain majority white for a while longer since a larger percentage of the non-white population will be under 18 years of age.
