      I love this comic and very much agree with the spirit of it. I am also fully in favor of diversity and immigration into the US.

      It is also interesting to know that “non-Hispanic whites” are in fact expected to become a minority in 2045 according to demographic projections by the US Census Bureau.

      I hate white panic in all its forms but as a matter of factual accuracy, we can’t lampoon it as freaking out over 2 people in 10 not being white. It’s further along than that, at least nationally. Granted, in any particular room, some white people will still freak out over 2 in 10.

        True, yet in this specific instance this isn’t about overall population, but specifically the muslim population, which if I recall correctly is under 1% of the population, far lower than the 10-20% in the comic.
