I’d argue that citizenism makes some sense if you remove the pandering to black Interests. I actually agree with Ron Unz much more on this but like Hanania, he is WAAAAAY too enthusiastic about the growing population Hispanics and Asians.
In reality while Hispanics and Asians/etc have some good traits, overall we really don’t need more mass immigration from Latin America or Asia.
Probably the best way to go about this is popularizing the term “ethnic Americans” and trying to change the census to that. It categorizes people that have married into and identify with the founding stock as ethnic Americans, this will encourage nationalism and encourage people to assimilate to those ways, it also allows all the ideas you stated to go through while not being tainted by racism accusations, also it holds the patriotism angle. The largest minority group will be mixed white Americans who largely identify with whites, the next will be Hispanics who identify with whites far above other groups.
I think this demographic doomerism is overstated but valid. Nearly 82% of the country will be on west European descent, they just need an identity to rally around and ethnic American mulattos is probably the best one. Stopping immigration, changing the census categories, making education reflect us, ending quotas, ending racial taboos so real conversations can be had, automation for low skilled work, and raising the birthrate
All of this is tangible but needs a select few people to get the ideas attached to policy and coalition building out there.
Some degree of white group consciousness is all but inevitable I think, given the extremity and rapidity of the demo shift. Just since 1990 the country’s white share has fallen by 20 pts (and that’s not including the proposed new MENA census category).
Of course it will remain low-status coded in ‘respectable’ culture for the foreseeable future but I can already see it beginning to creep in around the edges.
