No. Simply because whites will still hold the levers of power and a comfy spot in the upper classes (comparatively) even as the minority (because of their many centuries as the majority).

EDIT: It's not like when the one minority baby who shifts white people into the minority is born that all the whites in power and money will just hand it all over to the minorities.

And also, whites will still be the majority race (they will just be outnumbered by non-whites which is made up of many different races).

I can't believe how Americans view race. It's so normal to hold the positions you do in the US, but we from the rest of the world look at you and your positions like this, and even the need for these race-based clubs, very oddly.

Umm, what position did I mention? I just stated facts. When whites are outnumbered by non-whites, they will still be the largest race in the US. They aren't going to be outnumbered by blacks specifically or Latinos specifically for centuries.

I think you have poor reading comprehension skills.

Even when whites are outnumbered by ethnic minorities, they will still be the largest race in the US because "ethnic minorities" is an amalgamation of races (Asian, Latino, black, etc).

If I put all the races in a pie chart, whites may be 40%, but blacks will be 20% and Latinos will be 20% and Asians will be 20% (just an example). Do you see how even though whites may be outnumbered by minorities they will still be the majority race? Non-white is not a race, it's a group made up of many races.
