White Americans are dying faster than they're being born, and it looks like they'll become a US minority in the next 30 years, Al Jazeera reports. For the past three years, non-Hispanic whites have been the only group whose death rate outweighs their birthrate, according to population estimates released by the US Census Bureau on Thursday.
