The only time I've seen a problem with this is how the alt-right defines white by excluding Jews (which would fall into the statistical error of the white population of the US, so it's not really a big effect), and the explicitly removing "white hispanics" from the definition of "white"; when it's not at all clear that "white hispanic" means much. The thing is, they are getting that from the Left, and so the Left see white hispanics as an ideologically possessed demographic that they will never lose: therefore they are non-white.
This has caused the Left (and therefore the alt-Right) to make some goofy analysis that the White population in the country is significantly smaller than it is. So much so that I've been hearing since around 2014 that whites are already a minority in the country.
This also goes to the idea of racial purity and that you can't actually become more white, only less white. This applies to both the Alt-Right and the Left. Whites interbreeding with non-whites of any variety means the children are non-white. This really doesn't make sense. If you applied the same thing to blacks, you would say that most black Americans are non-blacks because most of the US black population has interbred with whites and hispanics to a significant degree. You could probably reduce the population of blacks by 3-4% if you had done something like that.
In reality, if you have a white male and a black female interbreed, the child will be some kind of mixed race. But if each successive kin interbreeds with a white individual, the society is going to see them as more and more white each generation. ... obviously. The Left would declare every successive child to be non-white.
All that being said, the worst (most inaccurate) statistic I've seen from the right was that whites are somewhere around 40-45% of the population. I'm sorry, that's wrong, whites are still somewhere around 72% of the population. At least, you can still see where they got that statistic from, because the Left is still using it.
This issue is actually so old, I've been repeating it since 2016, because the Left really didn't think that they needed any white voters to secure electoral victories. They accepted losing the state of Ohio in 2016 because "it was too old and white to be a bellwether state".

Interesting thoughts...
It's because of how colors, the eyes, and the brain work -
Look at this picture for example -

What race would you describe her as? Black. But if you broke it down, you might say she's 70% white and 30% black.
People aren't categorizing people into non-white because of some "racial purity" concepts (well the average people aren't) it's based on it's effect on visual appearance.
Cardboard
Because that's the color she actually is.
And I get that people break it down by visual appearance, but that's actually my point, 100 years ago, they would have called her: Mulatto. She would be "Colored" but she wouldn't be "Black".
Black has been redefined to basically include people who barely have any African ancestry in them. Black isn't being used racially or genetically by large parts of the Left at this point. It's being used politically. People are politically black, not racially black.
For example, Barack Obama isn't the US's first black president. He's the first Mulatto one.
Just so we're clear. The British media genuinely said that Megan Markle was being racially discriminated against because she was a Person Of Color, and on a rare occasion, I did hear them refer to the Crown's anti-black racism, to insinuate that she was black. This is Megan Markle
Hispanic has always been this weird category. It's technically not racial at all but gets used as a proxy for mestizos all the time so it ends up thought of as mestizo for a lot of people. There was that one boxer whose name I can't recall who was a full on ginger Hispanic. The problem is, "White Hispanics" may include mestizos and the ginger guy, therefore it is hard to tell how many of them are actually White. Never forget, the media called George Zimmerman a "White Hispanic."
This will be true in due time.
Doubtful. A white racial voting block would be the death of the Democratic party. They still need white voters, and it's not close, and won't be for a long time.
The reason they focus so heavily on minorities is they literally need every single fucking non-white individual in the US to vote for them, and then need lots of white women, in order to win any election. If blacks voted Republican at a rate of 30%, Democrats couldn't secure an electoral victory.
Sorry for the late response. I've taken a break from social media for a while. Anyway, it would kill the Dems now but not in a decade or two, depending on how monolithic minority voters become in the future.
