By 2027, less than 50% of all minors will be White. By 2045 less than 50% of the total U.S. population will be.
They’ll still be the largest PLURALITY for decades more to come, but they’re freaking out about it.

When one group systematically treats other groups like shit for hundreds of years they assume that the other groups would do the same in return if their positions were reversed. I’m pretty sure most BIPOC don’t want revenge, they just want White folks to stop being assholes.
(I say this as a Jew…we’re sort of “off-White”…we’re considered White when it’s convenient and Not White when it isn’t.)
