And people call this rag "leftist" lmao. This racist alarmism would be right at home on Storm Front.

The implication that this is something anyone should care about or even take notice of seems astoundingly racist

America has been doing this dance for the past 200 years. Too many Germans, Irish, Italians, etc will make white America not white anymore was the old tune and I'm done waiting for Americans to realize that race is a social construct.

whiteness isn't real. it's a hegemonic construct that will always absorb enough new bodies to maintain it's dominant positions. many latinos/hispanics are already becoming white as part of this social construction.

Racial categories have always been jank in the US for Latin people. Forms have a separate question on whether or not you're Hispanic. But because of that, "Latin" is never included as an option for race so we have to fill in something stupid.

Look at questions 8 and 9 here. I'm the tan kind of Mexican American, so I have to answer question 8 with Yes, Chicano and question 9 with...??? Other? I'm a Hispanic Other. Makes sense.

In America, the terms Latino, Latinx, and Hispanic refer to basically anyone from any country in the Americas that is below the United States, geographically and 'culturally'. It's essentially a label Americans use to say, " oh you're from one of THOSE shithole countries".

The great great grandson of a Spanish conquistador who massacred thousands of indigenous people to claim his own plantation is considered the exact same as the granddaughter of an indigenous person on the receiving end. Both are called Hispanics, making the word an utterly meaningless label.

Yeah no, the "whitemaking" of Hispanic/Latine Americans is already underway.

they're gonna expand the definition again like they did in the 60s for irish, italians, etc.

I'm doing my part.

This was always going to happen because Anglo countries define whiteness by one-drop blood quantum rules. The population of white people will always shrink if you define white in such strict terms and everything else in such loose terms.

Having just a single non-white grandparent is often enough to disqualify a person from whiteness.

It also doesn't help that the boundaries of whiteness have shifted compared to 30 years ago. Muslims usually aren't considered white for instance no matter where they're from. I distinctly remember my Syrian neighbors were considered white when I was a kid, then 9/11 happened and suddenly they weren't.

Interesting I guess. It's a no-brainer that this would happen when whiteness is defined by its purity. Some say the definition will be expanded like it was for Italians and Jews, but that requires racists to stop discriminating based off visual appearance so I kind of doubt it. Anyway, rip bozo lmfao

They've been saying this kind of nonsense about every generation, every year for decades. I'll believe it when I see it.

since people often get confused by statements like this, remember that majority means >50%. there will still be a plurality of white people in the US for the forseeable future

49% is still a lot of whiteys

I like the idea of lots of different races of people because variety is nice. I sort of wish I was the tanner version of white because being out in the sun all day has turned me into an ugly wannabe-femboy tomato

Good.

The white replacement is real!!! 😂
