You know what happens when you play woke games that tell people "to be less white"?
You end up with people desperate be less white to appease the woke ruling class, and what better way than to follow in the footsteps of Chief Elizabeth Warren herself?
According to the 2020 Census, there was a 127% jump in people who consider themselves to be "non-Hispanic multiracial" and an even higher percentage of "Hispanic multiracial."
The largest group were those who identify as both white and Native American:
Americans who were mixed race recorded a wide range of identities. People who identified themselves as both white and Asian made up about 18 percent of the total number of non-Hispanic multiracial Americans in 2020. Those who reported their race as both white and Black accounted for 20.5 percent. Americans who were both white and Native American were 26 percent of the total.
On one hand, you know there were probably a bunch of people like Warren who wanted a seat at the intersectional table. Who wants to be a Eurocentric patriarchal oppressor, amiright??
In fact, according to the Washington Free Beacon, some experts are already calling this shift in demographics the "Elizabeth Warren effect."
Some experts are already attributing the surge in "multiracial" white people identifying as Native American to "the Elizabeth Warren effect," named for the U.S. senator from Massachusetts.
I wonder if, like Warren, these people cite their grandfather's "high cheekbones" as evidence of their tribal ancestry.
On the other hand, there's more going on than people like Warren who claim Native heritage so they can get a gig at places like Harvard.
The spike sent demographers scrambling. Was the reason simply that more multiracial babies were being born? Or that Americans were rethinking their identities? Or had a design change in this year's census form caused the sudden, unexpected shift?
The New York Times says it was all these factors, but that marriage across ethnicities was a big one.
As the newest immigrants, largely from Asia and Latin America, have children and grandchildren, and those Americans form families, they are much more likely to marry outside their racial or ethnic groups than their parents were.
That kinds smacks against the woke narrative that America is a racist place divided into separate racial oppressor groups, even if the NYT did slip in some quotes about "whiteness" and a family that didn't want to talk about "social justice" [read: Marxism].
So while I'm a skeptic about these new stats, I've got to love how they show once again how our woke overlords are so very wrong about our nation.
