Turns out if you define a third of your pale population as "Latinx" instead of white, very few white people remain.

Even the 2020 census had the sense (heh) to finally drop the "Hispanic race" and have it as a separate label, but the "researchers" felt like going out of their way to redefine it as a "race" again. Not sure why race is even treated as a scientific thing to begin with in their census, but such is the Amerikkkan way I guess.

Edit: don't even want to think about the causes of this "age gap"

White Spaniards fill out Yes and write "Spaniard" for question 8 then pick White and write "Spanish" for question 9. It's funny that they have write out the same thing twice.

Beats me why Lebanese and Egyptian people are considered white though

    Posted this upthread as well, but middle eastern & north African people were legally enshrined as white in the US due to a 1909 ruling with the following logic:

    • Jesus was white.
    • Jesus was born/lived in the middle east.
    • Ergo: middle easterners are white.
