16. Latest US census figures 2023: 58% of the US population is white.

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024/population-estimates-characteristics.html#:~:text=At%20195%20million%20people%2C%20the,and%20Alaska%20Native%2C%200.3%25.

At 195 million people, the non-Hispanic White population had the largest share (58%) of the nation’s total population in 2023.

Perhaps you misunderstand how science works. Data, facts, evidence are not pejorative or subjective.
Data is neutral and points to the truth.

My OP is fact. We live under minority rule. The data tells us that.

If males feel the data is a "poke in the eye" perhaps they need to do some soul searching and look inward, instead of accusing and blaming others?
