Really? I'm a bit surprised to hear that? Why, if you don't mind me asking.
Actually, there are portions of the US where whites are becoming a minority.
I was one of very few white children at my Jr. High school, one generally doesn't understand what targets of racism go through unless they experience it in a negative fashion personally.
The worst part about racism is that since it's based on fear and resentment, it only breeds the same in reciprocation. Not an easy cycle to break.
Well, true, the only way for that to be possible is to get rid of all ethnicities except one, but surely you can't advocate that?
Well, to be fair, it'll only become uninteresting to the media when it becomes uninteresting to the majority of the population. I think your scenario would give the media and everyone a field day. Perhaps after a few hundred years though.
Which means they'll either have to drive it into the ground completely or the problem'll be fixed before the media stops making a big deal out of it.
I dunno. I don't know if it is possible. But it's true that even the most inocuous label can be used for ill. Just saying that a "black man" or a "hispanic" committed a crime instead of a "man" or a "woman" is just asking for uneasy people to build paranoia.

Like I said, the problem won't really go away until the media stops making a big deal about it, and until most people are really exposed to other cultures in a realistic and positive light.
There was a quote somewhere in my English textbook that put it perfectly, although it was in relation to gays, it fits perfectly fine:
"The late wit and arch-queen Quentin Crisp referred to this truism, only half jokingly, as 'liberation through banalization.'"
Basically, only by making other cultures 'ordinary', can they truly be freed from oppression.
Racism is a touchy subject. I cant say how me and my friends would react to balck people being around because i have gone to 95% white populated schools.
