A new ethnic classification
For all their contributions to science and political philosophy, the british remain a race of pirates. I think they deserve their racial problems. As the white brits become an increasingly smaller percentage of the population we will be in for some interesting news. I think around 2100 the white brits turn into a minority. The era of the white man is coming to an end.

I wonder if we will see a divergence in the assimilation trends among indian-americans as the indian population in America gets larger and more diverse. Specifically, as the white population diminishes proportionally and a white racial consciousness grows, will darker indians be shut out of intermarriage with the more color conscious whites of 2025 as opposed to fair skinned indians from kashmir and punjab ? A large number of pakistanis, especially pashtuns, are light skinned enough to disappear into the anglo mold through a generation of intermarriage but they will probably shut themselves out due to their basic dislike of western peoples.
As u can see, Norah Jones hardly looks european, southern or otherwise....she looks puerto rican or dominican....which would be expected from her mixed white and south indian ancestry (many south indians and bengalis have the broad noses, dark skin and wiry hair of mulattoes from the caribbean)

that dude who played zack morris in "saved by the bell" is also indonesian-dutch...and know I feel he does look a tad ethnic...of course when i was a kid i thought he was a WASP's wasp :)
How race is lived in … Latino America?
The proportion of hispanics who are actually "white" under any reasonable standard is a LOT less than the 50% statistic cited by the census. Given that most hispanics in the US are of Mexican origin, and that too from the lower and middle classes, having a 50% white component is extremely unlikely. The only white hispanics I have seen are among cubans, an occasional puerto rican and among argentines. Probably no more than 15-20% of the present day American hispanic population is caucasian.
