Some people say that it does not mean much, because some Latinos may identify as white and demographics is not always destiny.......a lot of Latinos in Florida and Texas lean Republican, they don't like crime and they are not sold on Black Lives Matter, so....

Where do we go with this?

Sure: I went from white in 2010 to 'other' in 2020. Many such cases.

Why stop there? Add some black people into the mix too. I can find a full white ancestor before some Latinos.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what the obviously objectionable term means, but it seems odd for an English person to call Germans and Swedes “swarthy,” lol…

Oh I agree, it's pretty crazy-sounding but it is an interesting look at racial theories before the 19th century.

It’s no wonder as to why. Poverty is a proximate cause, with many self-identified White people being saddled with debt and addiction and untreated mental problems. It’s also no wonder that these same White people would seek immediate amelioration for their problems, and seek to place the blame for their poor conditions on some external factor.

It’s also no wonder that these same White people would seek immediate amelioration for their problems, and seek to place the blame for their poor conditions on some external factor.

 There are parts of White America where there is an economic deterioration leading to deaths of despair, that should not be taken trivially and it's heartbreaking but it's also a recent phenomenon. The excess Black mortality on the other hand has been happening for decades due to racist laws and practices, economic conditions, and the same deindustrialization that first affected Black Americans and this reality has never been given much sympathy.  

 But there are other reasons the white population is shrinking, primarily they're old and dying, they're also better off and white women are having less kids. But in reality the birth deficit is actually higher in percentage terms for minorities because minority Latina and Black women have been going from having more kids to less kids as these women get more educated and more prosperous where this was already the reality in most of White America.

 The number of White Americans is also not growing in a direct way with immigration from Europe because Europeans don't want or need to come here. The white population of Americans will grow by identity as Hispanics and Asian marry and adopt white identity. This is already happening.

Identifying solely as a white person in this country puts you at a disadvantage in pretty much all aspects of your life - whether it be employment, scholarships, and the list goes on.  You'd be foolish to continue doing so if you have any asperations.  I'd advise my children of that too.

This is complete nonsense.

You should be ashamed for posting such lies. White women have been the biggest benefactor of equal opportunity employment and education funding. So that alone sinks this misinformed theory you have. Secondly every stat we have shows that white people enjoy a tremendous racial advantage to life outcomes in every field where data is collected and furthermore much of that is the direct result of racist policies towards Black Americans. The racial wealth gap that is almost exclusively the result of racist Federal housing policy is the biggest and clearest example of this.

Northern Europeans often have sandy undertones to their skin, whereas British people more often have pinkish undertones. A pretty fine difference now of course but like all things it would seem alien if you weren’t used to it.

Is it just me, or does bronz have an obsession with race?
It seems the majority of threads created by this user hover or relate to race.

No, both complexions were (are) common across Northern Europe, of which Great Britain is absolutely part of, with no significant difference based on nationality either current or historic. Put your callipers back in their box.

If you really wanted to critique Franklin’s biases you would have pointed out that plenty of native British people have dark complexions. I’ve known a lot of people with last names like “Lee” and “Cox” that I can say that about; people with names like “Sturm” and “Bauer”, not so much.

Identifying as a white person on a census form does nothing for someone's employment or anything.

What actually does give you a disadvantage (proven through actual studies) -  

Having a non-western European sounding name on your resume.
