The Flight from White
Hispanics are rushing for the doors.
Charles Murray recently posted this graph based on data taken from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
He thought it was remarkable that suddenly in 2020, millions of Hispanics stopped identifying as white.
He wasn’t the only one who noticed. The Los Angeles Times asked, “Why did so few Latinos identify themselves as white in the 2020 census?”
In 2014, the New York Times ran the opposite headline: “More Hispanics Declaring Themselves White.” The article went on to say that “if Hispanics ultimately identify as white Americans, then whites will remain the majority for the foreseeable future.”
How nice. If enough Mexicans and Salvadorans say they’re white, America will stay white forever.
So, back to why Hispanics are suddenly refusing to be white. The authors of that LA Times article think the reason could be “a xenophobic political climate that has made many Latinos aware that whiteness may not be easily within their reach.”
Black-and-brown unity is fantasy, of course, but Hispanics have surely tumbled to the fact that being brown makes you a cherished diversity asset, and that the race that is supposed to be lathered with privilege has become the national whipping boy.
Who on earth would want to be white if he had any other choice, with every institution giving you a leg-up for not being white, and people at Harvard trying to abolish the white race?
Some people abolish the white race, beginning with themselves. You remember Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Dolezal, but what about Jennifer Benton?
Professor Jessica Krug of George Washington University got caught because she couldn’t decide if she was Algerian or Caribbean.
Just last week, a “queer indigenous artist” who made up an unpronounceable Injun name for herself, turned out to be white.
All these people — and plenty more — knew they’d be better off being anything — anything — but white.
White privilege? Hispanics want none of it. A la mierda eso, as they might very sensibly say.
