Sure, but that's couched in racist ideology: you are black (or non-white) if you have any fraction of not-white blood. As the great melting pot processes along, its inevitable that 'pure white' folks will disappear.

And that's a problem, why?

Only to the extent that present self-identification of people as non-whites is driven by their internalization of the one-drop rule, since these statistics, like most modern consideration of racial demographics, is driven by self-identification, not authoritarian ancenstry-tracing and application of the one-drop rule.

Though the "majority non-White" characterization does seem to be a mischaracterization of "majority non-(non-Hispanic White)" finding.

You are just arbitrarily defining whites to mean nonsense and accusing me of being a racist which I am not, I am a Catholic and I believe racism is illogical, but I still get annoyed reading about how all us whites are supposedly racist or secretly racist, and couch everything in our secret racist ideology.

I didn't say it was a problem for a country to be non-white. I said that it simply proves that white racists are not running everything, which it does. The WASP elites are not running everything anymore - its not the 1920s.

Don't go overboard, there. The idea that 'white people' are disappearing is a racist notion. Because of an ancient notion that if you are 'polluted' by even 1% 'black blood' then you're not white. On the face of it, that's nonsense. Why not say that even 1% 'white blood' makes you white? Then the USA is almost entirely white.

And half a percent of the USA are running the whole country. I suspect they are all old white guys. We're more than halfway done proving the "they are in charge" accusation, right?

What's the point of talking if you are going to just make up stuff I supposedly said, you're arguing with things you imagined I said.

Did I say "white people are disappearing" No.

I don't know where this 'ancient notion' stuff you are arguing with comes from either.

I can't argue on the internet with someone who can't read.

Ok, sorry, I didn't actually mean to attack you at all. I was injecting the comment that what it means to be white or black is a flawed notion, and any discussion around that is likewise flawed. I retract any impression you have that I was criticizing you personally, and retire from the discussion.
