Is demography destiny?

Is America an empire in decline? Chateau Heartiste believes we are in an
the acceleration phase of decline.
To back this up he lists some racial demographics from 1976 and 2012 regarding presidential preference.
Democrat Republican
1976 2012 1976 2012
85 56 White 94 88
15 24 Black 3 2
2 14 Hispanic 1 6
N/A 4 Asian N/A 2
N/A 2 Other N/A 2

Demographic breakdown of voters then and now (in percent):
1976 2012
White 89 72
Black 9 13
Hispanic 1 10
Asian N/A 3
Other N/A 2

Is this a racist post? He asserts that
Because whites still comprise a (precarious) majority of the electorate, if Republicans can increase their share of the white vote by 5-10%, they can win at least for a few more election cycles. But the demographics are baked in the cake. As the youth bubble of latinos and asians bulges into voting age and whites retract as a percentage of the population, it will require ever greater super majorities of the white vote for the GOP to maintain electoral viability. This is not likely unless catastrophe were to change the hearts and minds of liberal city-state SWPL whites to join with their core white Americans as a voting bloc. As whites are perhaps the most ideologically diverse race in the world, and as white leftoid egos are virtually impenetrable to logic or even notions of self-preservation, it would require a catastrophe of truly epic proportions.

Then there is the question of whether Legacy Republicans even deserve the white vote. Their actions to date say no. At best, GOP pols are niceguy orbiters hanging around the hot chick Democrat nodding along to every inane thing she says, occasionally showing flashes of desperate masculinity, then getting shot down and trying to laugh it off with a feeble “just kidding”. At worst, they’re closet degenerates, traitors, and cheap labor whores.

I read Chateau Heartiste daily. Why? Because I always find at least a kernel of truth in his uniquely original writing, which is very provocative. Most importantly, he helps me understand women.
