Let's consider a hypothetical scenario. I apologize if I sound racist or anything, I'm just offering a scenario.
Let's suppose that by 2050, Hispanics constitute a majority of the population. Or blacks, maybe. Should affirmative action be shifted to support the new minority, i.e. white people? (i.e. by giving them preferential treatment in job hiring, university enrollment, scholarships, etc) How do you think the new majority would react to such a decision?
My personal opinion is that we shouldn't have affirmative action at all, neither for whites nor non-whites. Nor should we have it for any other reason (gender, class, religion, etc.) People should get by on their own merits. (Although, I do understand that affirmative action might have been justified in the years immediately following the passing of civil rights legislation.) |

| Hispanics aren't white, although their ancestors were. Spaniards are, however. |

| Hispanics are mostly white, most having a bit of Native DNA from mexico southwards. In my opinion hispanic is a poor ways of classification, which is why many censuses today say that hispanic is not a race. If you are hispanic (I am) you declare yourself as a hispanic white. This is why it will be hard to classify race in a few years. Race mixing will probably make eliminate these problems anyways. |

I would support it, but it wouldn't happen cuz "muh white oppression"
The liberals would pull the racism card, despite being the biggest hypocrites in the world at that point. |

| I doubt that. I think what they're doing with minorities right now isn't necessarily fair (I am blasian). Also how people can always claim that in office, whites may always have most of the power. Therefore, there would be no real problems when whites become a minority (Then again, everybody is mixing so now we got blatinanesecaucasus everywhere) |
