Has anyone mentioned that "white" just means "dominant American culture" and that it's simply an expandable placeholder category for anyone in the ruling class that oscillates as a result of economic factors?

I say Indians will become white next thanks to their generally conservative politics. Who's your guess?

When do you think the "ruling class" of America is going to oscillate?

Do you think the immanent loss of a white majority is going to change anything?

Is that a rhetorical question or are you simply asking me?

Why do you think it is that "whiteness" is an expandable category for perceived economic success of a group?

edit: I don't think raw demographics alone changes things as can be perceived historically in other societies with a colonial foundation, to answer your question.
