By minority I don't mean simply less than 50%, I'm talking more like 20%. This may not happen for say 200 years, but would you be mortified if ever this were to happen? I mean let's say culturally all those Mexicans or Asians or whatever were still as American as apple pie, they just didn't have the stereotypical blonde hair blue eyes. American culture has always changed, really. If you woke up in say, Minneapolis in the year 2150 to find there were as many people of Hmong ancestry as there were Swedish ancestry what would you think?
I don't want to brand anyone as racist or anything, just honest opinions.

I grew up as a "minority" in California. (I'm white.) Most of the Mexicans were cool, but the blacks were really ghetto. I would not like to be a minority white in a black neighborhood in my hometown. I now live in the Atlanta metro area. I would have no problem being the only white guy in many of the black neighborhoods around here. They are great, middle class hoods with great middle class people. There are also a number of solidly black wealthy neighborhoods here too, which I bet even the most racist white would like to live in.
If the "minorities" live well, work hard and continue to make America great, I would prefer that to an all white trailer park America. It's not "white" that I care about -- it's being a good person of good character. I think I'm like most Americans in that regard.
Umm... who are we hating and oppressing these days?
