Reminds me of a kerfluffle that happened a couple months back, mentioned on Volokh:

All the newspaper headlines were proclaiming that the startup world was getting less diverse, and people were very upset at the racism of the tech community. But as it turned out, white representation in the tech sector had actually decreased. The only reason that the numbers said it was becoming less diverse was that Asian people weren't being classed as a non-white minority.

This is actually going to be a big change going forward. Asian, Indian, South American, middle eastern, etc will be totally assimilated into white culture. Just like Italians and Irish were, despite initial discrimination.
