U.S. minorities on pace to be majority in months, not decades

[Nye Bevan]

19. This seems a little weird to me.

Using metrics that treat not just racial or ethnic numbers as factors, but also white “allies” — those whites whose children have married non-whites, who have a gay family, or who have proximity and acceptance to diversity — Garcia has developed a CulturEdge Countdown Clock. That clock tells us that the minority will become the majority on that day in late August, at precisely 7:56 p.m.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the author seems to be saying that whites will become the minority in late August if we pretend that white people whose children have married non-whites are no longer white themselves, and that gay people are not white, and that those whites who have "proximity and acceptance to diversity" are not really white. Don't get me wrong, I really do not give a shit what percentage my personal racial group happens to be in the general population, but it seems to be stretching things a little to do things like pretending that white gays are not "really" white to try to make some kind of point.
