Long story short, non-Hispanic whites aren't the minority. No group surpassed non-Hispanic whites.

The most I found was projection data: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chs/popdat/ST2010.shtm

Not to get bogged down with this detail, I'm really humored that I was questioning my intelligence when I read his claim and read your response. It's funny that he attempted the minority angle and it was inaccurate. People also confuse "Hispanic population is growing" with "non-Hispanic white population is smaller than every other population." Such confusion works very well for the Texas political and racial climate.
