"White" America Persists (Because It Works)

John O'Sullivan writes for National Review about changing racial designations and how many immigrants are assimilating to become de facto "whites." About the current political campaign, he notes:
There is nothing odd about Rubio and Cruz adopting policies tailored not to the concerns of a self-conscious Hispanic minority but to those of an American majority that now includes many Hispanics, some fully conscious of a separate identity, others indifferent to it, still more adapting to a more “American” identity.
Imagine how much better off Cuba would be today if they'd kept their talented, successful people at home and utilized their intelligence and skill. Cuba's loss is our gain.
