Yes, it’s fantastic that the legal profession has diversified to the point that the op’s referral network includes a rainbow of people. That’s progress that should be celebrated (and a real world reminder that US has come a very long way and isn’t as racist as many imagine…particularly compared with other countries).

The real divide remains with class: it comes down to money, not skin color.

The Haves will always be fearful of the Have Nots. And truthfully, the Have Nots tend to create the most issues and drain resources.

ICYMI: poor white Americans and loot black Americans are perhaps the most anti-immigrant.

As white men are marginalized more and more, there will be less of a common enemy for Democrats. That was at the heart of the affirmative action cases.

The interplay between politics, marriage and child rearing will be interesting. Conservatives are having more children, or perhaps it is more accurate to say that having children is more aligned with conservative values presently. We have no idea how it plays out.

It isn’t a given that as minority groups take power they will continue progressive liberal values (see Michigan townships where Muslim dominated city councils have scaled back on Pride celebrations).

I don’t think a coloring of America leads in a straight line to progressive goals. It will be largely dependent on secularizing immigrant populations and I suspect changing birthing patterns will also be relevant.

Wait so the plan really is for white men to become “marginalized more and more”? Isn’t that exactly what replacement theory is all about?

The majority of Hispanics still vote Dem.

First generation immigrants are always liberal. But look at Italians now. They're often very conservative. Hispanics are not going to give up Catholicism over 1 or 2 generations as they become more established. They remain very very Christian and family oriented. Many eventually own businesses. Go look at a state like TX where they have lived for a lot longer than most states. They vote very conservatively.

Traditional Catholicism is very aligned with the democratic party. So is traditional Christianity. The problem is the Evangelicals and Opus Dei, who are fringe and support a Christian Nationalist state. These are two very different things.

Lololol.

Because the anti-abortion and homosexuality is a sin stances of Catholicism are sooooo aligned with liberal Democratic dogma. You're absolutely delusional pp.

Pp said traditional Catholicism. Which is less abortion and culture wars and more love and help the poor, the sick the immigrant. Even today, the majority of Catholics vote Dem.

No, the PP is correct, at least Catholics and the Democratic Party of the past. It was about supporting policies that benefited the poor and working class. If I meet a Catholic now, I wouldn't be able to assume their political persuasion, mostly because of the anti-abortion stance of most of the Republican Party draws in a number of Catholics.

I would like to think many Catholics would support policies that ease the burden of others, but it seems to me that a lot of Catholics are more interested in judging others for their actions and punishing them by withholding support. Maybe these people aren't practicing Catholics, though. (I'm a practicing Catholic, FWIW.)
