I used to believe those predictions. Now I have a different conclusion:
Don't ever underestimate White supremacy's ability to adapt.
The assumption that more racial diversity equals more racial equality is a dangerous myth. Racial diversity can function as a cloaking device, concealing the most powerful forms of White supremacy while giving the appearance of racial progress.
Whiteness is elastic
Consider how Whiteness has been defined. It's a prime example of how White supremacy adapts.
The future of Whiteness could rest with Latinos
It's a hard truth for me to accept, because I see that racial hierarchy at work within my family.
The US may indeed become a majority minority country around 2045. We may become a rainbow nation of varying racial identities, skin tones and interracial unions.
But if we don't dismantle the racial hierarchy that gives status and power to Whiteness, this new version of America won't really be new.
It'll be just another updated version of White supremacy -- with a tan.
