Baby boomers.
Overwhelmingly white, and at about that age where they start to die off rapidly.

Curious how mixed race people are calculated into this. If a white person mates with a non white, isn't the kid immediately "non white? I dont know how it works.

Can't wait to claim to be a minority because of my skin color...

We choose whatever is more beneficial to us. Sounds crazy, but that is exactly what we do. If it benefits us to be White, we are, if it benefits us to be minority we are. I've done this for years nobody has ever questioned it.
My kids school did get very angry that I wouldn't list them as "Asian". I did that because they were top students and it would actually hurt their college chances by listing them as Asian.

Check death rates by age groups, a lot more older white people due to baby boomers. After the boomers have had white births have dropped off to the stabilized 2.4 rate before other minority groups have, so we are still feeling the affects of higher minority birth rates that have just recently slowed down to the 2.4 rate that whites have been in for decades.
Also, the vast majority of immigration is non-white, so you have that too.

Global demographic is 54% East and South Asian, 15% White, 15% Black and 16% Other. If you are not Asian, you're already a minority.
