white people rioting doesn't fit the stereotype the MSM is trying to promote. It wouldn't do for white folks to be afraid to go to the malls now, would it? After all, the have all the money. (sarcasm)

If whites are no longer the majority in our population, why aren't they now referred to as "minorities"?

I guess the reason is White men still make the rules? The only minority they are interested in being part of is "Rich White Guys."

Ethnic groups:

white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic
