America’s getting less white — and that will save it: The economic case for diversity

America reached an important milestone in 2011. That occurred when, for the first time in the history of the country, more minority babies than white babies were born in a year.
Soon, most children will be racial minorities: Hispanics, blacks, Asians, and other nonwhite races. And, in about three decades, whites will constitute a minority of all Americans ...
Although whites are still considered the mainstream in the United States, that perception should eventually shift as more minority members assume positions of responsibility, exert more political clout, exercise their strength as consumers, and demonstrate their value in the labor force. As they become integral to the nation’s success, their concerns will be taken seriously.
but what will become of the wealth, very disproportionately owned by white America
In the so-called "recovery period" following the Great Recession, the average African-American and Latino household still owns only six and seven cents respectively for every one dollar in wealth held by the typical white family, an increase of only a penny per group since 2009. And despite reports that U.S. households have regained much of the wealth they lost since the Great Recession, communities of color have yet to see the benefits of the economic recovery.Our analysis of U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Participation data show that between 2005 and 2011, the median net worth of households of color remained near their 2009 levels, reflecting a drop of 58 percent for Latinos, 48 percent for Asians, 45 percent for African-Americans but only 21 percent for whites. Steep losses in homes and home equity in the lead up to and during the Great Recession contributed to more dramatic declines in the net worth of households of color.


But it gets even worse, for the data shows that many African-American and Latino households are considered "liquid asset poor," meaning that they do not have cash or assets readily converted to cash to cover basic living expenses if they are without income for three months. In fact, the average liquid wealth of whites is now over 100 times that of African-Americans and more than 65 times that held by Latinos.

that white numerical advantage will go away is certain
what seems uncertain is whether white wealth will be similarly dissipated, and if so, by what means

This is nothing but a bait thread, as highlighted by the title. If you want to have an honest discussion, have some respect and you may get some in return.
