Because of all the babies immigrants have been shooting out, most children in the USA are now non-white. Whites are only a single generation away from becoming a minority in the country.

These kinds of graphic presentation of data are really interesting and informative--I can imagine that he had a lot of fun doing it. I wonder if differentiating between Whites and Jews would also convey anything of interest, or possibly their numbers are too small to make a clear impression?

Chances are that as a researcher he has his full dataset. Someone with a decent math background and 5 or 6 hours to write up the code could do their own analysis with whatever demographic splits they wanted.
