The people who feel threatened are the ones re-defining it is what you're stating, right? Experiencing brain lag. If so, it'd make for a confusing time when people who don't identify as white reject the shift in identity from others.

The people who will redefine it are nebulous at best. Italians, Jews, Poles, etc. in this country didn't become white over night. The frightened people are the ones who don't realize that, unless they're 100% white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, their ancestors weren't white and the coming horde of brown people will have a considerable portion of its population be white enough by the standards of the 2030's.
