Turns out if you define a third of your pale population as “Latinx” instead of white, very few white people remain.
Even the 2020 census had the sense (heh) to finally drop the “Hispanic race” and have it as a separate label, but the “researchers” felt like going out of their way to redefine it as a “race” again. Not sure why race is even treated as a scientific thing to begin with in their census, but such is the Amerikkkan way I guess.
Edit: don’t even want to think about the causes of this “age gap”
Posted this upthread as well, but middle eastern & north African people were legally enshrined as white in the US due to a 1909 ruling with the following logic:
Wow I don’t know what’s dumber: calling Lebanese people Chinese-Mongolian because Lebanon is in Asia or calling Lebanese people white because Jesus is white (to white Americans)
