Is this a joke? The US went from 83.5% white in 1970, to 57.8% in 2020 [1], mainly due to immigration. How many other countries can you point to where the former majority population went from overwhelming majority, to the brink of minority status, in 60 years - less than a lifetime?
If this is "closed", then what on earth would be needed to be called "open"??
