The majority of white people definitely don't think that at all. Maybe the more liberal white people do. But if they think it'll be "better," they wouldn't necessarily be referring to themselves, but to society as a whole. Things will be more fair. The lower classes will have more lobbying power, which would lead to better economic treatment, maybe getting a better social safety net for them, maybe fixing some of the institutions white people have fucked up with and don't really want to fix. It wouldn't be some magic pill for America or some instant fix, but it would very likely be leading toward progress, however much it is.
As for the silly things you think Hispanic people might do in power... Well, that's just silliness. I can see Spanish someday being made the official second language of the US, but that's about it.
You don't really believe that do you? How is substituting one majority ethnic group for another going to change anything? Have you been to California? Which institutions did white people fuck up in your eyes?
How would it be progress? Who benefits the most? See it would be one thing if the Hispanics coming in were liberal, secular etc. Instead, the majority are vehemently Catholic, primarily speak their own language, and are not really interested in assimilating.
How is it silly to think California won't adopt Spanish as the official language of government? If the majority are Hispanic and speak Spanish first, why wouldn't they pass such a law?
See in a democracy, anything happens when you become a majority power. You think because Hispanics become the majority, it would allow for effective lobbying and representation. But only for Hispanics.
It's like in the show the wire, pretty soon, non Hispanics including whites/blacks will wake up one day and live in a state that is a different demographic from them. The problems won't go away at all. I'm all for diversity, I live in Canada, one of the most diverse and multicultural countries in the developed world, but we don't have such a huge demographic shift there is now. California has transformed literally in two decades. Go by Compton today, you'd see more Hispanics than you'd see black people.
Anyways , just wanted to share my thoughts. I just find it interesting from a non-white perspective. I can't say what I mean properly and I have to be mindful of what I write. So ill leave it at that.
