In his commencement address at Portland State University in 1998, President Bill Clinton told the crowd, “Within five years, there will be no majority race in our largest state, California“:
“In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude over so short a time.”

The white majority crowd cheered at this statement, apparently thrilled at the prospect of living in a country that was no longer theirs. The clip shocked conservative X users. It seemed so brazen for the president and his audience to celebrate the Great Replacement. Nearly 30 years later, America is bearing out the truth in Clinton’s observations. It’s most likely that America will be minority white sooner than 2050, and whites are already a minority in several states.

While immigration has certainly changed much, it hasn’t quite “Balkanized” the country. One reason is that immigrants are now everywhere. One can encounter Hispanics and Indians in rural Arkansas. They’re too dispersed to form something along the lines of a Spanish or Hindi Quebec. They’re also too inclined to assimilate to America’s modern consumer identity.

“Demographics is destiny” became a powerful catchphrase to warn conservatives of what the future will look like without a white majority. Both liberals and the “far right” believed that demographic change would lead to a permanent Democratic majority. It was expected that non-whites would band together as a rainbow coalition against whiteness. That hasn’t panned out. Trump did extraordinarily well among minorities in the last election — while running on one of the most-race charged platforms in recent memory.

White nationalists were once confident that a diverse America would make whites embrace racial consciousness. That event has yet to happen. Just 15 percent of whites say their racial identity is important to them, which stands in stark contrast to the majority of every other group who say that identity is important to them. Nearly 95 percent of Americans approve of interracial marriage.

As [Pat Buchanan] acknowledged in a conversation with Ralph Nader 14 years ago, consumerism and sports fandom may be enough to keep this country together even with dramatic demographic change and a declining quality of life.
We are an imperial, multiethnic, multicultural state, like the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the British Empire. How did that go?
In any case, it is the white population of the US that drives its economy, that goes to college, and that is actually connected to US history, the Posterity of “and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
Recent Third World immigrants, legal or not, have no such connections, nor even any interest in our history. Moreover, they cannot maintain a First World economy. Just look at Africa, Latin America or Southern Asia.
So, economic and social decline are baked into our future. Or rather, their future. We’ll be dead.
“Just 15 percent of whites say their racial identity is important to them”
15% say it. Many more think it, but won’t say it out loud…yet. The remainder are lying to themselves about it.
We will go from 15% to 85% overnight, though perhaps not for a very few years yet.
