Also, is there anything logical about wanting a community to stay predominately white (such as, not wanting it to drop below 80% white). Its logical to prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate if that's what you prefer, because your taste buds make you prefer it.
So , is it just as logical or necessary when it comes to race.
I don't think it's very logical to worry about race. It's more about economic class. I'm sure whites don't mind living in an affluent community with other races that have the same net worth and economic status as them. It's when people (of any race) start moving in by using government assistance who otherwise couldn't afford it. I'd have a problem with that too and I'm black.

Keep in mind that Whites will still be the largest group in terms of plurality. So, the will still be communities that are predominantly White in the latter half of this century.
I believe that is what will happen, also. Even us black folks, with our 13% representation, have numerous cities and even counties that are majority black. Asians are the plurality in Hawaii despite only making up 4.8% of the USA, overall. So, I imagine there will be a lot of majority white areas in this country in the future. The USA is segregated like that, despite the ''melting pot'' fascade.
The only part of this country where the rural areas aren't overwhelmingly white are the south and maybe southern California.
Also The Southwest like New Mexico, Texas, Arizona..
