Summary

Thomas J. Pfaff challenges the perception that White Americans will soon become a minority, arguing that the distinction between race and ethnicity is often misunderstood. Many Hispanics identify as White, complicating the narrative of a future 'minority-majority' nation. Pfaff invites readers to consider how Hispanic identity may evolve over time, potentially towards greater assimilation into the White majority, akin to past European immigrant groups. The complexity undermines simplistic narratives, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of demographic shifts.
