If you run this same logic inside the U.S.:

**White Americans** are older *(median age \~44)* with lower fertility *(\~1.57)*, while **Hispanic Americans** are younger *(median age \~30)* with higher fertility *(\~1.97)*, and immigration skews heavily non-white.

**Black Americans** are closer to the middle on age and fertility *(\~1.64)*, so their share stays relatively stable.

**Net:** fewer white births + more non-white births/inflows → a declining white share, especially in younger cohorts.

That’s the mechanism behind the **“losing the country”** feeling.
