Like many Americans, I am appalled by the escalating efforts by the Trump Administration to whiten America. I say “Whitening of America” because his efforts in the area of immigration have been directed primarily against immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

For the past few decades, we have heard from the U.S. Census and other authorities that America is undergoing a “browning” of its population and that sometime this century, around 2045, America will become a “minority-majority” nation. I think the election of President Barack Obama in 2008 crystallized White Nationalist fears of being outnumbered and the loss of political and social power. And the second iteration of Donald Trump in a White Nationalist movement is being used to reverse the course of history and the tide of population demographics.

And it is clearly White Nationalist as they rename military bases after Confederate generals from the South — the homeland of White Nationalism. And his depictions of immigrants who are being rounded up as the “worst of the worst” criminals is used as a smoke screen to deport law-abiding people who are seeking to achieve their American Dream like so many generations of other immigrants from across the world.
