I've been thinking that kind of incorporation basically requires the country to still be in a state of colonial or imperial expansion. If all the pieces of the pie are taken the new whites won't have any material basis. It'd just be telling people they are white, but also need to abide the existing stratification which makes them not white again.
If I had to guess I think we might see a lot more stuff like the people faking being other races in academia. The niches a lot of communities in america have built for themselves have the upside of less in group competition. The more the overall pie shrinks, the more pressure there will be for the niches to be invaded and exploited
My hunch is that whites are gonna go in the opposite direction and double down on even stricter definitions of whiteness. Or at least, drawing clearer lines about it.
