Presently Arabs, Latinos, and Africans produce a disproportionate amount of children in comparison with their White and Asian counterparts. The difference is not only within Western nations but worldwide as well with Hong Kong having the lowest birth rate and Niger having the highest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_birth_rate
Feminism; where women work to support themselves instead of being at home with children. At first I thought this was to blame but Black and Hispanic women work just as long or longer then white and asian women and produce almost double the offspring.
r-K selection: in an r-situation, organisms will invest in quick reproduction, in a K-situation they will rather invest in prolonged development and long life.
Since blacks & browns are more on the r selected they will always have larger litters, stronger sex drives, care less for offspring.

If the latter is more culpable then we cannot expect whites to be able to compete with immigrants within our nations regardless of the social environment.
I'm new to r-K selection theories, demographics, genetics, ect. and I'd like to know what your thoughts are.
