Even then, I’m not trying to paint those other groups as the enemy. Our parasitic ruling class pits us against one another to prevent any focus on them.
I also suspect that the idea of whiteness has long held itself to be culturally exclusive ("you are not white if one of your parents is Black") while other racial groups are the inverse. There's a... lot of baggage and history there obviously. But I could see the manner in which the census asks about race being skewed by our cultural understanding of our race.
I also believe that wealthier, more educated folks tend to have fewer children. Which could suggest that, in the US white folks have more access to wealth and education.
Which is a long winded way of saying racial demographics is complicated and I can imagine many reasons why groups might rise or decline that are way less sinister than they are the enemy of the state.
Almost of these are to protect women's spaces (e.g. competitive spaces in sports) or to prevent children from being medically harmed.

These are targeting people who have entered the country illegally. Unless you want no checks at all on immigration, this is a good thing.
> Hundreds of explicitly anti Muslim bills since 2010.
Anti-Islam, actually. Or more specifically against Sharia law being implemented. Not really a problem.
Stronger hint: my thesis was focused on which groups the state legislates against, and how it wasn't "white men".
Most of the men trying to use women's spaces are white, there are white male immigrants here illegally, and there are white male adherents of Islam.
You're not comparing like for like.
669 bills were filed this year that specifically target trans people.
233 explicitly anti immigrant bills this year.
Hundreds of explicitly anti Muslim bills since 2010.
Dozens of local laws criminalizing being poor. Including one Supreme Court ruling that allowed cities to make sleeping while homeless illegal.
I think the data clearly suggests that the state's enemy isn't white men.
