Which states have seen the largest increase in the nonwhite share of their population since 2010?

NV +5.9
CT +5.3
ND +5.2
MA +5.0
WA +5.0
RI +5.0
MD +4.7
NJ +4.7
FL +4.7
TX +4.1
MN +4.0
GA +3.9
AK +3.9
NE +3.9
PA +3.8
Observations: Not sure people realize the extent to which the Northeast is becoming more diverse (except Maine/NH/VT which rank toward the bottom of the list).

MN is diversifying more quickly than WI and MI, which might hedge against it becoming a tipping-point state like WI/MI.
Colorado isn't diversifying as much as people think. Actually ranks below average.

No state became whiter between 2010 and 2019, although Washington DC did.

Among actual states, South Carolina saw the smallest increase in its nonwhite population share.
Trump can/will try what he wants, but the nonwhite share of a state increasing is fairly strongly predictive of it becoming more Democratic from election to election.
