Most American three-year-olds are not non-hispanic whites for the first time in the nation's history, thanks to a wave of asian and hispanic immigrants and a rapid growth of the native-born black population. Eight states and DC now do not have non-hispanic white majorities in pre-primary education. Nationwide, less than than 59% of schoolchildren of any age. SSDAN and Brookings Institution demographer notes that these numbers prefigure a non-white majority across grade-levels. By sometime in the 2040s, America as a whole will cease to have a majority racial/ethnic group.
