I don't see what's elitist or racist about it. It's just an observation of how things are. I'm not advocating for anything here.

It depends on an individual's scope of experience.

Black and Latino families are historically much larger than white Anglo families.

But then poor white conservative families also tend to pump more out than centrist or left-leaning families.

But looking purely at the numbers It does put more marks on minority families.

If I recall correctly, White will become the minority in somewhere around 2035. But it'll take a lot longer for the rural whites to be in the minority in their rural areas.

While I might wish for growing population in those with similar political leanings, we need to move more of the growth toward those who can/will take care of kids. We need more growth in people with good moral character who value education and hard work

The funny thing is

conservatives think this is mythological white society from 1950s
most of the rest of us talk about the missing middle class
realistically this myth was probably based on the best of immigration. Those with the motivation and drive to uproot their lives and move to another country, work hard to take advantage of every opportunity, and build a better future for themselves and their children.

This immigration story works for my ancestors a century ago as well as people I currently know following the same pattern in the modern world

Fair enough, apologies, didn't mean to imply you were advocating for the viewpoint of others i have seen making similar statements, that we need to "do something about it", which is generally rooted in white privilege and the belief that declining birth rates are leading to the collapse of civilization.
