(CNN) Cutting taxes for the rich helps the poor. There is no such thing as a Republican or a Democratic judge. Climate change is a hoax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This myth was reinforced recently when the US Census’ 2020 report<\/a> revealed that people who identify as White alone declined for the first time<\/a> since the Census began in 1790. The majority of Americans under 18 are now people of color, and people who identity as multiracial increased by 276% over the last decade.<\/p>\n

These Census figures seemed to validate a common assumption: The US is barreling toward becoming a rainbow nation around 2045, when White people are projected<\/a> to become a minority.<\/p>\n

That year has been depicted as “a countdown to the White apocalypse,” and “dreadful<\/a>” news for White supremacists.” Two commentators even predicted<\/a> the US “White majority will soon disappear forever.” It’s now taken as a given that the “Browning of America” will lead to the erosion of White supremacy.<\/p>\n

I used to believe those predictions. Now I have a different conclusion:<\/p>\n

Don’t ever underestimate White supremacy’s ability to adapt.<\/p>\n

The assumption that more racial diversity equals more racial equality is a dangerous myth. Racial diversity can function as a cloaking device, concealing the most powerful forms of White supremacy while giving the appearance of racial progress.<\/p>\n
