    World Population Shifts from Europeans to Africans and Indians

    Global White Population to Plummet to Single Digit—Black Population to Double

    The big population story of the 21st Century is shaping up to be the status reversal of whites and blacks and the Indian baby boom

    As a percentage of world inhabitants, the white population will plummet to a single digit (9.76%) by 2060 from a high-water mark of 27.98% in 1950.

    Using 2010 as the base reference, the big gainer in the population derby will be blacks or sub-Sahara Africans. This group will expand almost 133% to 2.7 billion by 2060. By the middle of this century blacks will represent 25.38% of world population, which is up dramatically from the 8.97% they recorded in 1950.

    The other groups measured in the study were the Central Asians (Indians), East Asians (Chinese and Japanese), the Southeast Asians, Arabic (North Africa and the Middle East), and Amerindian-Mestizo (Mexican and Central America). All these groups will experience a population growth. The Chinese/Japanese and Indians will trade rankings and the relative global presence of the other groups will remain more or less constant.

    The big population story of the 21st Century is shaping up to be the status reversal of whites and blacks and the Indian baby boom. A side bar will be the single digit minority role that whites will assume. Of the 7 population groups studied, only whites are projected to sustain an absolute decline in numbers.

    In 1950 whites and blacks were respectively 27.98% and 8.97% of world population. By 2060 these figures will almost reverse as blacks surge to 25.38% and whites shrink to 9.76%. From 2010 the white population will decline while blacks will add 1.2 billion to their numbers. In this time frame the the Indian subcontinent will gain 1.2 billion people. These groups and their governments will be looking for elbow room, and the diminished presence of whites in Europe, and especially in the relatively wide open spaces North America, will provide such an opportunity. Specifically, countries like Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia can expect to be pressured to accept collectively hundreds of millions of refugees from India, and sub-Sahara Africa.

        I firmly believe that population growth combined with diminishing resources is the No.1 problem we all face. It is the fundamental cause of global warming, our economic problems, and the current and future resource wars. We probably can support, at a comfortable standard of living, at best 1 billion people and no amount of tweaking the dials of the dismal science will change the long term conclusion of living on a planet with 10 times the people it can support.

        But to break population growth numbers into colors goes beyond weird. This is a disturbing thread.

          Fearmongering with (if I may say so) slightly racist undertones.

          People are incredible resources, given half a chance.

            I was refraining to post here due to the utter offense level displayed in the opening post of this thread. So I prepared an answer that may bring up the level of discussion here.

            As of the last two centuries, natural selection on the evolution of humankind has left way to mestizage as the primary evolutionary force. Why should we concern about the skin color of the majority of us? Reasoning and idea exchange has been the primary force bringing our development level to what we see. But it has been hindered by all the supposed differences we tend to see among ourselves. Variety is the key factor on our present and future development.

            In order to speed our future cultural evolution, we need to have a diversity of points of view and an extended range on approaches to solve present and future problems, and that only takes place in diverse backgrounds. The visual differences we may have are the signal of our adaptability to all the diverse environments within this dirt ball we call Earth.

            In the end, the human ingenuity has to be the measuring rule on the evaluation of any individual, and not any particular physical characteristic.

              Hola Ocelotl!

              My leopardian friend! Here is one thing to understand - in Latin America and also Old Europe, the politics of race have still some old historic overtones. In Latin America the Spanish have not left good beginnings for this racial question. For some strange reason the Anglo Saxons (who are certainly capable of being extremely bigoted!) have obtained a better result now. Of course in the US these overtones also exist, and are even strong. But I have lived in both Europe and the US, (also in Africa, for two years when I was a boy). I can tell you this, after roughly 50 years divided between these places.

              The USA is in the DOGHOUSE. We are going to be the shitbucket of the world for the next ten years. Our political system is a shambles. Our budgets are a bad joke. Our political leaders and our foreign policy, above and beyond any questions of morality, are merely stupid. We are going to give the world the foremost historical example of gargantuan scale bankruptcy, because whatever Americans do, they do it BIG!!

              Meanwhile I have lived on the east coast, and also the west coast, and I can tell you this. Of all the countries in the world, America is the most successful melting pot. In New York and in Los Angeles, and in San Francisco and in Atlanta, the mixture of races, despite many constant failures, is one of the most successful such experiments in the world. If you came to work in NY or LA, (or Santa Clara) your promotions as an engineer would be 95% a result of your skill alone.

              THIS is the one thing about America that I still love today, that I feel so proud of. Because in Europe the old ways are still a little bit difficult to move through. Britain of all the EU countries is the most close example to the US in this sense. I am not sure how much the race barrier prevents professional promotion in Britain, but it is most certainly less than on the continent. But of course, with huge bloated credit markets and dysfunctional economies, both of our countries are among the worst in the world now.

              Anyway, I wanted you to understand that in spite of all the really bad press that the US has in Mexico as a bully of a neighbor, actually the race question in the US has been assimilated and made functional far better than practically any other country in the world. It is still bad in some places, but it is a lot better than many other places where I have traveled and lived!

              As usual, reality is a constant surprise, and a constant string of paradoxes. We are totally screwed up in every other sense. Now please say a prayer for your gringo neighbors, OK?

                There have been just two posts from WendyGirl33 -- both have been rascist in nature -- given that, I think they both qualify as spamming itulip -- at the very least, they need to come out of "education and resources" and go to "rant and rave"

                    I would like it to stay, along with the responses. Let's not do censorship however ridiculous the post. I'd also like to see WendyGirl's response/denfence, if there is one?

                      I definitely think it doesn't deseeve to be in "Education and Resources" as I said earlier -- move it to "Rant and Rave"

                        Re: World Population Shifts from Europeans to Africans and Indians

                        We did ban her as a spammer for the reasons Rajiv mentions, not only because of the racist overtones of this thread that do not accord with our community standards but because she (he?) has only posted twice and on this same subject. If she'd posted many times on other topics, then we might entertain this, as objectionable as it is.

                        I'm inclined to delete this thread for these reasons but let "her" stay in the community if she has something to intelligent to say about finance and economics. One more post like this and she's out, just in case anyone wonders where she went if she is "disappeared" in the future.
