There is already an 'ethnic' majority

The New York Times reports "Ethnic and racial minorities will comprise a majority of the nation’s population in a little more than a generation, according to new Census Bureau projections." The census calculates that by 2042, Americans who identify themselves as Hispanic, black, Asian, American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander will together outnumber non-Hispanic whites.

But perhaps this analysis is a little bias towards the perception of who we think are minorities. Indeed this is a case of arbitrary political rhetoric aimed to alarm those who are not included in the groups assigned as minority. Jacob Sullum asks what about the 10 million Polish, 3 million Greek Americans, and 3 millions Russian Americans that immigrated to the United States among others?
