I agree with everything except the percentages. It's more like 95% and 5%. You can't consider middle class whites as rich.

I always wondered if she was a white nationalist! An oddity that she uses a Jewish name, though. You'd think that would be odious to her.

To the OP, I imagine the smart people (i.e., the wealthy) will figure out a way to hang on to both money and power. Eventually the dumb people will figure out that they can't run things on their own.

I wasn't responding to a "guy". You are confusing her with another bad speller.

Perhaps you should read before you post.

Nope. Whites are already the minority in many cities around the country. Race relations won't change.

Wealth has a tendency to stay with the wealthy, and since most of the wealth is held by white people (and a very small percentage of white people), it will stay with white people (that same very small percent).

What a stupid racist topic perpetuating ridiculus racial stereo types. "White this" and "White that". The fastest growing group in the country is those of combined ethnic or racial backgrounds. I find this to be left over hippie logic from the 60's. My family is predominately white and hispanic mixed and more recently Asian and even Middle Eastern. Maybe we should segragate the whitest ones and send them to Europe or back to Mexaco. Oh no, I have some really white second cousins who are from Mexico city, so do they go to Europe? Or how about my first cousins who are White/Mexican and Thai mix. what group should they identify with since some of them could pass for white and some hispanic.

At this rate of Mexican immigration we are not seeing a assimilation into our mixing pot with a added flavor here and there but a total dilution of the pot unlike past groups.
Y'all gave up that idea back in 1965. Can't return to it now.

You don't think that is has affected "race relations" for the last 200+ years?

What about self identified ''white Hispanics or latinos'' who make up about 53% of the 50 million latinos in the USA? I personally think many of them are not actually white per se, but for the truly white/Spanaird descendants, I have a feeling they will eventually be recognized as part of the white race(officially) by society, as more will assimilate into the mainstream, via Charlie Sheen(not his original surname). It will be just like when Sicilians, Irish, and others were finally accepted in the white circle. And even if that doesn't happen and we continue to look at only those that are not hispanic/latino, then still, they are predicted to remain in the plurality at forty something percent by either 2030 or 2050, which makes them not exactly minorities.
