The USA does not have by a long shot more minorities than western Europe or Canada . You really don ' t know what you ' re talking about . Different measurement make comparisons difficult in Europe , the category ' White nonHispanics ' does not exist . But it does exist in the US . Just because some MexicanAmericans , or illegal immigrants , classify themselves as white doesn ' t mean they are part of the majority population of the US made up of white Europeans who immigrated to the US long before immigration from Latin America became a thing . If a Mexican comes to the US today and classifies themselves as white , does that mean they ' re part of the majority ? That ' s basically what your argument depends on . Half of the Latinos in the US identify as white . They are still minorities . We ' re not talking about white and not white we ' re talking about minorities . If someone in the US was born in Mexico and came here illegally but considers themselves to be white , that doesn ' t mean that they automatically count as a minority , it doesn ' t mean that they ' re on the same cultural and socioeconomic footing as someone from the white majority whose ancestors came here generations ago from Europe . Canada ' s majority population makes up enm 2011 assa 99010 x 99010 x 2011001 eng . cfm of the total population . The US majority population makes up just populationdiversitycensus of the total population . About 20 % of Canada consists of minorities . Almost 40 % of the US consists of minorities . The US has about twice the minority rate that Canada has . We ' re also not accounting for the difference in these minority groups as most minorities in Canada are welltodo Asians who immigrated legally while most minorities in the US are blacks and latinos crucially , many of which came to the illegally and therefore were not vetted . 23 . 8 % of Switzerland ' s population are foreign residents . Yeah , mostly rich immigrants from other parts of Europe . Stop talking . Your argument is deliberately deceptive .
