Immigration to the US was drastically cut in 1924 with quotas and then dropped to very low levels in the Depression and WWII, only to pick up a bit after the war.  So they're all pretty much 80+.   

I know one.  A 90-year-old retired professor, German Jewish refugee who came to the US in 1940 as a child.

Ethnic whites might end up outnumbering WASPs eventually as there was so much immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Catholics could be a plurality in the US.
