It’s in the Census. It includes Lebanese, Egyptian as examples.

Arab and Iranian communities for years have lobbied the bureau to create a separate category for people of Middle Eastern or North African descent.
Over the last decade, it seemed the tide would turn — the Obama administration was considering proposals to ask questions about race and ethnicity in a different way, shifting not only how the government would count the Middle Eastern community, but the Latino population as well.
In 2018, however, the bureau announced that it would not include a “MENA” category. Instead, the next survey will ask participants who check “white” or “black” to write in their “origins” for the first time. Lebanese and Egyptian are among the suggestions under white.
Yes, according to the US census, this would be a white guy:

Again - no one has said or even implied that white people are "being targeted." No one is worried about the census data, for crying out loud. The OP was merely pointing out the slant of the headlines. Good grief, you liberals are dense.
What slant? That’s what I mean about you imagining that the media is targeting you when they just stated a fact about the most significant trend in the newly released data.

The WWII & Boomer generations were much whiter generations than younger groups, so as the old people die the white percentage declines. For a while Hispanics & Asians increased by immigration but in the past 20 years the growth is a lot more US born so under 18 population is now majority POC.

The pp suggested, but refused to clarify, that “white people” are in the same position as Jews were in the early 20th century.
I think that is insane and would like more details.
I think you're confused.
DP. Nah. The PP talking about Jews is either delusionally paranoid or painfully inarticulate.

Clickbait headlines for stories written by, for the most part, pampered white umc authors.

I agree.
that's probably because you are not insecure.
Only insecure people fear becoming a minority.
See Germany early 20th century.
So many have forgotten their history. I guess we are doomed to repeat it.
I am confused about what this response means. Are you suggesting that white people will be persecuted by a pluralistic multiethnic majority?
Can I just say that you all are not that special, that Indians and Hispanics and Chinese Americans are going to get together to go after you? White people are destroying themselves without any help.
I wonder if this was used as a counter argument back in Pre-WW2 days.
Please actually respond to the question: do you believe that white people (whatever that means) are on route to being persecuted? How? By whom? I really want to know, as a non-white immigrant. I could not care less about persecuting white people but my casual observation is that “white” culture in general is in precipitous decline all by itself- from evangelicals to Trump to the Opioid crisis. When I look at my white colleagues they seem to lack community and strong relationships.
Here is the comment thread in question- am I confused? What was that pp trying to say? They never clarified.

In case you haven't noticed - they are hyper focused on race. They see it as a dividing issue.
Exactly this. Democrats will mention race any chance they get.
So will Russian propaganda.
Nah. Democrats accomplish this without any help from Russia.
