Whites will soon be a minority in America

The US Census Bureau has predicted previously that whites will lose their minority status by as soon as 2043

"Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time," Huo said of the study.

"We see a significant reduction in the endorsement of diversity when white Americans are exposed to current projections of future demographics," added Danbold. "Most Americans view diversity in positive terms, but many white Americans who see the actual demographic projections, and the loss of their majority status, end up being less enthusiastic about it."
