The thirteen colonies were only a small part of what made up the United States. Anyone else was not counted in the Census which is basically 80% of the rest of what became the USA. And the many of the people in that 80% were wiped out by disease, warfare, etc...
Basically, the Americans conquered the whole country. Its like the French declaring anything west of the Mississipi theirs. What happened to the people living there? I bet they didn't say, yes France, you own us.
Your link says white people have been less than 90% of the US population since 1700.

1660 - 96% white
1700 - 89% white
1800 - 81% white
1870 - 87% white
1910 - 89% white
1960 - 89% white
You are technically correct, even slightly more if you distinguish between white and Hispanic. But I'm really not going to argue over a few percentage points with anyone.
This is made up.
