You'll have to pick a lane. Either there is no race, or some white race is being replaced. If we took your description there as equal parts of who you are, you're about as non white as any american latino, on account of irish. Your ancestors may have bought in to whiteness, but anyone can, and it's not based on genetics in the first place, here in the us less so than pretty much anywhere else on acount of our history - so...what gives? This is all getting silly, because no amount of facts has changed your misapprehension in any way. Is there some social construct that's being replaced? What utility is there for you in being wrong about the great replacement, such that you'll interpret any collection of contradictory facts as being right about a great replacement? It's a pernicious myth, that's why it features so heavily in global right wing extremism, granted, but what is it doing for you? If we could answer that, we'd have part of the answer to the rise of global right wing extremism.

I don't have to pick a lane. Gender is a social construct too, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop having conversations about gender. I think we're in agreement that non-Latino "white" Europeans are going to get to the point where they are no longer a majority. That is what the great replacement idea is about. I'm sorry that society has trained me to think of non-Latino "white" Europeans mainly when white people are brought up, and that I didn't immediately think of Latinos. I did correct my earlier claim and admitted my error. I changed "white" to "non-Latino whites of European descent". Their population per capita will shrink as the Latino population grows. And I said I'm in favour of immigration because it's necessary.
