Since I wrote about Alba's other book a few days ago, thought I would do a thread about his 2021 book: amazon.com/Great-Demograp…
Prevalence of mixed combinations: Image
Mixes of 2017 births: Image
How kids of various combinations identify as: Image
Educational status of parents of various mixed race combinations: Image
Rate of marriage by parents of various mixed race combinations. The lowest combination among whites is black father white mother: Image
White/Hispanic mixes seem to have pretty high incomes. Could possibly be because the Hispanics in these relationships are high %Euro ancestry. Image
Asian/White mixes seem close to whites: Image
How groups say they would be seen: Image
Who multiracial Americans marry: Image
Stability of mixed Asian White Identity: Image
Diversification of top cohorts of jobs: Image
As we can see, the purpose of this book is to craft a narrative to make demographic change more palatable to whites: Image
Wants to make sure the counting method doesn't "scare" anyone: Image
Perhaps we need to get rid of future projections altogether. After all, the daily stormer is charting this as well. Image
Says that @epkaufm prediction of mixed group continuing to identify as white is unlikely given the mixed ancestry of this group. Image
Says that "western societies" can't prosper without immigration, but in many cases they can't prosper with immigration:
Image
Image
The book doesn't address the politics of multi-racial people, but they seem to lean to the left: Image
He also never adrdeses any problems that may be disproportionately found in interracial families/ children:
Nor does he address the racial preferences that multiracial may receive, and why they may be incentivized to identify with that. (as @Steve_Sailer calls it "flight from white")
Overall thought it was hollow on a lot of issues, and clearly ideologically motivated, but still has some interesting data.
May find interesting: @BosqueAli @HbdNrx @PhilippusArabus @VDAREJamesK @2020Blackstone @whyvert @ObamaGarak @la_chatte_verte

1/Short thread on race and Greek life. This legal scholar recently filed some FOIA requests for public universities to get some data on mainstream frats and sororities (IFC/Panhellenic) and this is what the data looks like overall: Image
2/ The IFC fraternities they looked at were slightly less white at around 72%. Everywhere greeks life was at least 15% whiter than the university population as a whole. Image
3/ Comparison between % of undergrads who are black vs panhellenic sororities. At the schools that turned over chapter level data almost half of chapters had no black members. Image
