Yes and no. While there may be a huge decrease in white population in the future, I doubt the race will die out due to certain isolated communities that will remain majority white and the changing definition of who is a white person. Unless there is a genocide against all people with white ancestry and skin color, there will still be multiracial people who have some white ancestry and because race is a social construct, some people will likely identify as white even if they some non-white ancestry, similar to how many multiracial people of European and African ancestry would just identify as black, such as the United States President, Brock Obama.
While I hope that we stay the majority in Europe because that has historically been our land, I'm not so concerned with the North and South American countries, because those countries are supposed to be 'melting pots' and the land was stolen from the Native Americans anyway.
Thoughts, NSG?
Well it is ultimately all a matter of opinion. If you believe in the idiotic and archaic one-drop principle then sure, “whites” will likely die out. But if you reversed the one drop rule, and said any “black” person with any “white” ancestry could not be “black”, you would eliminate nearly all “blacks” in America.
Ultimately race is the assignment of people to arbitrary, subjective categories, based on arbitrarily chosen superficial characteristics, mostly melanin levels. For example you can say Obama is “white”, as his father likely had some Arab ancestry, and his mother was all “white”, so he is likely more than 50% “white”. Of course you could say he is “black”, since his father would be considered mostly “black”. It is totally up to you, but the best thing to say is he is both white and black in my opinion.
Therefore no, whites will become the majority race, with more than 50% of the world’s population being “white”. Of course those “whites” will also be “Asians”, “blacks”, etc. as well. Racial identities will become increasingly blurred and therefore less relevant in the future.
However for the foreseeable future, the US will remain predominantly white.
What about Hispanics you say?
Look it up, Hispanic is NOT A RACE. I will repeat because so many people screw this up. HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE. Hispanic American is a linguistic/ethnic identity, like Italian American, German American, etc. The majority of Hispanic Americans identify as “white”.
But there are many “black” Hispanics and even “Asian” Hispanics. Of course most Hispanics have some “Native American” ancestry, but so do many other “non-Hispanic white” Americans. But considering that “Non-Hispanic whites” and “Hispanic whites”, freely intermarry, dividing up “whites” into these two categories in unsustainable, the line is becoming increasingly blurred to the point of non-recognition. Just as we no longer separate “Italian whites” and “non-Italian whites”, we should also cease and desist with this foolish notion.
