Minorities now the Majority in Charlotte

[KBRed]

Greg Johnson and Judy Galindo have helped change the face - and complexion - of Charlotte.

Johnson is an African-American marketing executive who moved back to his home state last summer. Galindo is a native of Colombia who came to launch a Spanish-language paper last fall.

They're part of an influx of blacks and Hispanics who have accelerated the growth and diversity of Charlotte and North Carolina. So much so that over the past decade, Charlotte's non-Hispanic white population dipped below 50 percent for the first time.

It now accounts for 45 percent of city residents, according to the 2010 Census. That's down from 55 percent just 10 years ago.

This trend will continue. As someone who's lived in Charlotte for numerous decades, this city is growing and diversifying at a rapid rate. You can literally see this city becoming more densely populated by the day.

Nah, it's an interesting topic...as long as people don't get all sensitive.

The funniest part of all this is the cyclical racism that's going on. Many black people don't like mexicans and I hear complaints all the time that the mexicans are "taking over the neighborhood" and other blatant racist comments like you used to hear from whites.

Now THAT's paying it forward hahaha
