Using nineteenth century ideas of Whiteness, and so excluding Jews and Slavs and southern Europeans, we'd have been majority non-White long ago. Even the idea we're approaching that now depends not only on a belief the definition of White is fixed, but also on the one-drop rule.
It's the exact idea that led to the worst conflict in human history, tens of millions dead, the Holocaust, the wealthiest nations on earth devastated, but it just makes SENSE to him so why interrogate it
