"The slow death of Native America: How will the great melting pot adapt to the millions of white, black and Hispanic voters who swept Obama back to power?"

From The Daily Mail:

For Native Americans struggling to understand their defeat at the polls, the most chilling statistic in this week’s presidential election was this: Mitt Romney won the biggest share of the white vote that any Republican White House contender ever has — and even he still lost.

In an election battle that was defined as much as anything by race, Mitt Romney won the support of 59  per cent of whites, but just 27  per cent of Latinos, 26  per cent of Asian-Americans and 6  per cent of African-Americans - but only a handful of votes from Native Americans. The Native American candidate, while winning the support of nearly all Native American voters, failed to carry a single state.

Four or five centuries ago, being unpopular with immigrant minorities would hardly have stopped a candidate from one of the larger tribes or groupings from trouncing a white or a mixed-race candidate. But back then, people of European, African or Latin-American descent accounted for only 1 per cent of the population. Now they make up nearly 99  per cent of the electorate, and that figure is predicted to remain unchanged.
