According to the lastest estimates by the Census, the majority of children born in the US between July, 2010 and July, 2011, came from sex that was had by PEOPLE OF COLOR -- Jiminy Crickets! The numbers: Non-hispanic whites made of for 49.6% of all births while minorities -- browns, blacks, asians, mixed race, etc. -- made up for the other 50.4%. 

"While over all, whites will remain a majority for some time, the fact that a younger generation is being born in which minorities are the majority has broad implications for the country’s economy, its political life and its identity. “This is an important tipping point,” said William H. Frey, the senior demographer at the Brookings Institution, describing the shift as a “transformation from a mostly white baby boomer culture to the more globalized multiethnic country that we are becoming."

Remember last year when American football fans were forced to enjoy the music of norteño group Intocable? Yeah, I totes called out these "implications" way before the Census.
