In today's news
Since the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and the start of the Colonial period, the U.S. has been predominantly white.
But the white share of the U.S. population has been dropping, from a little under 90% in 1950 to 60% in 2018. It will likely drop below 50% in another 25 years.
White nationalists want America to be white again. But this will never happen. America is on its way to becoming predominantly nonwhite.

Why are the numbers of white people declining, and why are nonwhite numbers increasing? The answer is basic demography: births, deaths and immigration.
White women have an average of 1.7 children over their lifetimes, while Latina women average 2.2. The total fertility rates of blacks, Asians and American Indians are in between. So whites have fewer births than all nonwhite groups.
There are also big differences in age structure. Sixty-two percent of Latinas 15 years of age or older are of childbearing age. Only 42% of white women fall into this group. Latinos also have lower mortality rates than whites. Demographers call this the “epidemiological paradox.”

The future of whiteness
The aging white population, alongside a more youthful minority population, especially in the case of Latinos, will result in the U.S. becoming a majority-minority country in around 2044.
The demographic shift in the U.S. has resulted in many whites proclaiming that they are losing their country, and that they already are or will soon become a minority group.
In her research on working-class whites in rural Louisiana, sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild observes that many whites feel frustrated and betrayed, like they are now strangers in their own land. In Trump, they saw a white man who brought them together to take their country back. Hochschild points out that at a Trump campaign rally, whites held signs with slogans such as “TRUMP: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” and “SILENT MAJORITY STANDS WITH TRUMP.”

One way that a "white majority" has been maintained is simply redefining who counts as white. The Irish and Italians were once considered non-white. If they'd gone on being excluded, whites would have been a minority long ago. I suppose one possibility is that others could be included in the "white" population -- light-skinned Hispanics already often count as "white," and it's possible that South and East Asians could be added, too. You can already see white supremacist types trying to make common cause with East Asians over things like affirmative action in college admissions... which is a tactic related to the use of East Asians as a "model minority" with which to attack other minorities.

Regarding the lower Latino mortality rates, I find it fascinating, since it's such an outlier relative to the normal tendency of wealth and longevity to go hand-in-hand. With other ethnic groups, greater poverty means earlier deaths. It's conceivable that it's genetic -- for example, Latinos tend to be racially hybrid to a great degree (with European and Native American stock mixed), and there's robustness in individuals with more genetically diverse backgrounds. But I find it more convincing that it's about diet. Most latinos eat a lot of beans, and beans are associated with "blue zones" of great longevity all round the world (including soybeans in Asia). Eat a lot of beans and your cholesterol drops, sparing you heart trouble, and you also experience lower cancer rates from both the antioxidants and the impact of the extra fiber.
