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"

Fun fact: middle eastern & north African people were legally enshrined as white in the US due to a 1909 ruling with the following logic:

Jesus was white.
Jesus was born/lived in the middle east.
Ergo: middle easterners are white.

George Shishim won his case with the Federal Government. It started when Shishim, acting in his capacity as a policeman in Venice, California, Los Angeles County, arrested the son of a prominent lawyer for disturbing the peace. This incident started the legal fight for Shishim’s eligibility to citizenship. The arrested man claimed Shishim had no right to arrest him because Shishim was not and could not become an American citizen, because he was not of the “white” race. Having been born in Lebanon, part of Asia, Shishim was considered of Chinese-Mongolian ancestry.

Old timey racism really was something else, what the fuck

During the court hearings, Shishim stated:

“If I am a Mongolian, then so was Jesus, because we came from the same land.”. Thus, California set a precedent upon which other states based their decision on this matter, granting U.S. citizenship to Lebanese, Syrians, and all Arabs.

Ah... the time US was so racist, Scots, Russians, Slavs, and Italians aren't seen as white.
