LOL, no? You;re speaking of a minority of a minority. There;s no mights or maybes in that calculation. Its a known known. Thankfully, the majority of that minority is close to deaths door...so all the rest of us have to do..oif we can;t do anything else, is hold out a few more years.

When will Latinos outnumber whites in Texas? Experts have a new prediction
"Migration into the state, coupled with generally higher fertility among Latinos than in the non-Hispanic white population, has also driven an increase in the state’s Latino population, he said.
Texas added 234,000 Hispanic residents over the year, the most of any state, bringing the overall Hispanic population to roughly 11.2 million.
Still, Potter said that his office, which produces detailed population estimates for the coming years and decades, pushed forward its forecast for when the state would switch from having more white people than any other race to having a Latino plurality.
“We had projected that the Latino population would exceed the ... white population by 2020 and that’s probably not going to happen,” he said.
Based on the new trends, he said, he now expects Latinos to outnumber non-Hispanic white people in Texas by 2022.
