Good for you, Barbaro. You are one of the more responsible Texans.

The minority is quickly becoming the majority. The last projection I saw is that minority will switch to majority in 2025. It may not even take that long.

I can believe it.

I've lived in diverse neighborhoods and been roommates with people of different cultures and races since I was 13. As a result, I no longer feel comfortable in neighborhoods like the one I grew up in. I grew up in a very upscale and very white neighborhood.

Mostly to be 2030 to 2040 but could be early as possible.

White non-hispanics and hispanics in combined are remain to be majority.

Very true, FF. Things like height, eye color, hair color, complexion, etc can skip generations and often do. Any characteristic caused by a recessive gene may skip one or more generations. So while, for instance, both of the parents and all of the brothers and sisters have brown eyes, the blue eyes of the next child doesn't mean he isn't his father's biological child. Just means he go his eye color from his great grandfather.

Very hateful to talk behind someone's back speculating on their parenthood. Especially when there is no proof.

Male pattern baldness is inheritated from the mother's side of the family, not the father's. So, unless you are questioning who is mother is, that one doesn't indicate anything, either.

My nephew Philip and I are the perfect example of what you're talking about.

We are the only members of our family to have naturally curly hair. We do not know if anyone else in our family ever had curly hair..
