Bummer! I’ll be too old for the racial preferences (yeah, I do expect to live into my 90’s it’s in my genes).

Non-Hispanic whites will become a minority in the United States by 2050, with immigrants and their children driving 82 percent of U.S. population growth in coming years, a new study said on Monday.
The U.S. population will grow to 438 million in 2050 from 296 million in 2005 if current population trends continue, the Pew Research Center study found.
Non-Hispanic whites would account for 47 percent of the total in 2050, it concluded.

Though, 47 percent isn’t much of a minority, I bet my fellow white people will get shafted on the racial preferences.
