Are people not allowed to care about demographics in the modern age? Who cares about israel becoming minority jews. Who cares if china becomes majority white. Lots of people would care about those things, but for some reason Americans are not allowed to.

White is just a label applied to a changing cast of sorts of people deemed worthy. People of Polish, Irish, Italian etc descent would have been considered non-white. In some folks whether they could be considered by others as white comes down to skin tone.

If you consider more Americans as defined by culture and nationality have a darker skin tone then you might be a racist.

Yeah but in the modern world they are considered of Caucasian ethnicity, hence I stand by my comment on those countries being ethnically homogenous. You can play pretend all you want but we all know that Europeans are a lot more similar in culture than i.e. asians, africans, muslims, etc

I've read this sentence multiple times and I don't know what you are trying to say.

A massive portion of these slightly browner faces won't be immigrants at all they will be the children of immigrants. They will be Americans by culture. Isn't it nonsensical for you to conflate culture with race? A family could have spent a century in France and a century here and you define them as "Africans" based on skin tone.
