Turns out if you define a third of your pale population as “Latinx” instead of white, very few white people remain.
Even the 2020 census had the sense (heh) to finally drop the “Hispanic race” and have it as a separate label, but the “researchers” felt like going out of their way to redefine it as a “race” again. Not sure why race is even treated as a scientific thing to begin with in their census, but such is the Amerikkkan way I guess.
Edit: don’t even want to think about the causes of this “age gap”
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.
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

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.
The implication that this is something anyone should care about or even take notice of seems astoundingly racist
The one and only sane comment in this whole thread. If whites are a majority, so be it. If they aren’t, so be it. Stop obsessing over titles (that (general you) claim are a social construct anyway) and get on with your own life. This is…not important.
