America's new minority

It was reported a couple of days ago that by the year 2042 "white american's" will officially become a minority in America. This both cracks me up and scares me. For one, "white's", relative to the combined numbers of "minorities" have been in the minority for at least the last 20 years. It's just sad that we have to actually have the Federal census bureau tell us that it will be official in 34 years. But what scares me more than anything is what this will mean to the laws we have on the books that guarantee rights for those we consider minorities today. Does this mean that these laws are going to have to be rewritten? Are us "anglo saxons" going to have to rebel against the "system" in 40 years so as to fight for our "rights"? What about getting jobs? Will companies have to start having a certain percentage of whites on their payrolls like some have to do with Black American's today? Having to ask all these questions makes me laugh, but it scares me too. As a white male in America, I don't want to ever have to feel like I'm a minority. Personally, I don't think anyone should ever have to feel that way. And that "whites" have forced people of other ethnic backgrounds to feel this way for hundreds of years, only makes it funnier in a way because, it looks as if in the year 2042 the proverbial shoe will be on the other foot...Too funny...There is a saying that goes something like "you reap what you sow" and it looks like all those morons who believe in ethnism and bigotry towards people of other ethnic and cultural backgrounds are going to have to eat their own words. The scary thing, however, is that these groups now have more fuel to feed their hatred and ignorance because now they will be in the minority.
