Oh please let it be a fully egalitarian future…

Attached is a perfectly acceptable social media post and two entirely understandable LLM responses to the post and a reimagining of the post.

One relevant data point in terms of how soon we’d conceivably be refactoring language models and updating our own views:

From their research, Sáenz and Poston Jr expect the United States to have progressed to overall white minority demography by 2044.

Of course, a white minority doesn’t necessarily equate a dismantling of a power structure favoring white folks.

It shouldn’t need to be said on the fediverse that racists need not reply - expect most folks will approach this academically as intended.

PS: if you hate this post, please try to be as nice as you can about it - e.g. toss me a polite sentence after you downvote

    Don’t know what? Do you mean about the question in the OP? I think in the USA’s case it will be much like South Africa, where there’s still tremendous resentment against Afrikaners even though they are an even smaller minority and no longer form government. I think it will take perhaps up to a century for white Americans to be treated as a minority by others.

    Edit: and for the other angle of OP’s question, we could look to the ancient world. Rome, for example, didn’t care much about one’s skin colour or place of birth. Cultural assimilation was what made you acceptable or not. Speaking good Latin and being a good citizen was enough.

      One example was more than enough, I get it
