According to the 2000 census, whites are 66.8% of the population of New
Mexico. The only state that had whites as a minority was Hawaii at 24.3%.
I often hear people claiming that whites are a minority in the US, but it's
just not true (yet). Nationally, whites are still 75% of the population.
There are many urban areas where whites are a minority, for example,
Washington DC where whites make up just 30.8% percent of the population.
Perhaps the urban areas give the impression that the country is not still
predominately white.
