    Are people not allowed to care about demographics in the modern age? Who cares about israel becoming minority jews. Who cares if china becomes majority white. Lots of people would care about those things, but for some reason Americans are not allowed to.

      White is just a label applied to a changing cast of sorts of people deemed worthy. People of Polish, Irish, Italian etc descent would have been considered non-white. In some folks whether they could be considered by others as white comes down to skin tone.

      If you consider more Americans as defined by culture and nationality have a darker skin tone then you might be a racist.
