shrinking, the first census, 1790, the white population, the percentage of population, 75.6, four censuses ago, 57.8 because of this. you see the explosion of the latino population, the african-american population as a percentage is up, as an absolute number is up a little bit, as a percentage of the population, static. >> that's the number really to be paying attention to, especially in places like texas. we talk so much about the latino vote in texas, but if you have been to houston recently, been in and around dallas, you know that so much of that growth also atlanta coming from asian-american voters. that number will probably continue to go up. it does influence not just when we talk about districts that are not majority white. they're majority voters of color. it doesn't mean it's just going to be latino, african-american. it means it's going to be much more mixed.
