Enjoy what you’ve got while it lasts. And remember: old white people are dying off at a disproportionately high rate, and getting replaced by minorities. So what you’ve got won’t last for long.

Rather racist statement, but I respect your opinion.

What’s racist about it? It’s a statement of fact based on the science of demographics.

In 1980, only 10% of all voters were nonwhite. In 2008, 25% of all voters were nonwhite. It’s not racist to make the observation that a black president in 1980 wasn’t plausible, but demographic changes tipped the scale by 28 years later. Over time, more such scales will be tipped by demographic changes. And taking note of that isn’t racist in the least.
