The percentage of recent Mexican immigrants who think of themselves as being white has gone down from 98.9% to a little less than a third--all in the span of four decades. What's going on here? White is the new uncool, I guess. My best friend and my brother both married women of partial Hispanic ancestry. They like the option open for their children to be able to be put on the preferential track.
The late great Aaron Wildavsky explains how white males finish last. I'll never forget his analysis of affirmative action, which encourages people to self identify into groups that receive preferential treatment. But he figured it was something like 116% of the population thought that.
