In the context of this thread and the data about white OOW pregnancies driving this increase, I don't think that's the place to laugh at such truth.

You are suggesting that the reason unwed mothers are so high in MS and LA (whole cotton belt really) is because of wypipo?

Explain Utah and Co.

Utah and Colorado have much less trashy white people.

A pretty obvious fact is the marriage rate has plummeted. People just aren’t getting married anymore. They are still having sex even if it’s not as much as it used to be.

Among the most notable changes is an increase in nonmarital childbearing—that is, the percentage of all children born to unmarried parents. Recent estimates show that about 40 percent of births in the United States occur outside of marriage, up from 28 percent in 1990 (Child Trends, 2016). This increase is consistent with changes in nonmarital childbearing seen worldwide (Chamie, 2017).


quote:

In 2016, 28 percent of all births to non-Hispanic white women (i.e., white) occurred outside of marriage, a figure that is almost twice as high as the 15 percent of births among this demographic that were nonmarital in 1990. In 2016, 52 percent of all births to Hispanic women occurred outside of marriage, up from 34 percent in 1990 (a more than 50 percent increase). The percent of births that occurred outside of marriage also increased for non-Hispanic black women (black) between 1990 and 2016, from 63 to 69 percent (a nine percent increase), though a much lesser extent than for white and Hispanic women.

EV is the average cost or payout of something, based on the probability of each possible outcome.

EV is calculated by multiplying the probability of each outcome by its potential return or loss, and then subtracting the losses from the returns.

A negative EV means that the losses outweigh the returns.

A positive EV means that the returns outweigh the losses.

An EV of zero means that the losses and returns are equal, and you can expect to break even.


No couple from Pierre Part is going through these calculations.

They're zoo creatures.

We are evaluating them.

*ETA: this is a message board of married people.

So I should be reading all posts in this thread in a David Attenborough accent?

While they are no strangers to the outdoors, they are most comfortable in their home of choice: the mobile home. Lucikly we have a view inside this wonderful world of hidden treasures, where we can observe them microwave their dinners and fumble trying to light their meth pipies.

Most of this statistic has more to do with declining marriage rates. Birth rates are also in decline. It’s just declining marriage rates outpace declining birth rates. Birth rates of white women in the US aren’t particularly high.

White girls are having a lot more births out of wedlock




Yes, I'm sure White girls are the ones who are driving up this statistic.

But good charts. I might even say, beautiful charts you have there.

This could be blended into 4cubbies bleeding heart thread about why we have poor people. It's most of these kids won't a chance at a decent education (single parent working 3 jobs and the kids' schools are day care centers). Not sure why she has so much difficulty grasping this notion.
