Could be. I know Hispanics have already surpassed blacks as the largest minority group in the U.S. We have always been a nation of immigrants -- it's practically our entire history -- so it wouldn't bother me if they surpassed whites. The only way it would bother me would be if they (or any other new group) didn't assimilate, and that isn't the case.
