Wouldn't that lead to shrinking as well afterwards?
It is a different story in America than in Rhodie or SA. Their mistake was transitioning too quickly to majority rule, which immediately undercut the pre-existing power structure and influence of the political parties representing the white minority. In US, we already have majority rule and the gradual influx of non-whites will not be fast or radical enough to overturn the existing two-party system. Plus in US, Hispanic group assimilates very quickly into the White cultural group, similar to Irish in 19th century. While continued influx of new Hispanic immigrant will maintain some level of distinctness and distance between Non-White Hispanic group and White group, large swathe of them will ultimately be assimilated within couple generations as they interbreed with the Whites. Black cultural group does not assimilate into the White very much, but they have stagnant population growth for their demographic and will not be a big bloc compared to the faster growing minority ethnicities. Blacks already were displaced by Hispanics as the largest minority group for some years now. The other thing that differs between SA and Rhodie and the US is that in SA and Rhodie, the blacks effectively united under a single black majority rule party in order to successfully overpower the whites in the legislature and government. Even though they were subdivided into many tribal affiliations and subsidiary parties, they all were united into a coalition against white minority rule. In the US, the minority ethnicities are not nearly as unified politically as the black Africans. While there may be some shared desire to displace the white control of government, many of the minority ethnicities in the US have fundamental and irreconcilable differences in their economic and social interests. Furthermore, they cannot form a strong coalition against the White Republicans because there will always be too many defectors from amongst their own minority ranks. Many of the anti-abortion Catholic Hispanics will defect (so Texas will never turn fully blue, for example), the affluent Asians who want the tax cuts and less affirmative action will defect, the blacks who despise welfare leeches will defect, and so on.
So what's the solution you pose for this?
One party states are gay, faaggot.
Sorry, what were you saying about gay again?
It would be interesting to see the seats and parties that would occupy the US "parliament" if they had adopted the British system. Hispanics and Blacks would almost certainly form their own parties to advocate for their own ethnic interests and whites would vote for the conservative party or the liberal party because they have no sense of ethnic identity. There would also certainly be a social democrat party that wins the Seattle and Portland areas
You are wrong, abso-fucking-lutely wrong. The US government calls anyone from countries south of the Rio Grande Latinos/Hispanics. If both sets of grandparents came from Europe, settled in Argentina, Chile or Paraguay, spoke Italian/German/Gaelic at home and then you emigrated to the United States, the US would classify you as Latino/Hispanic because the only criteria from falling into that class is being born in a country south of the border where the official language is Spanish. Even if you're a descendant of the Japanese that went to Peru and established a community of Japanese that exclusively married only other Japanese immigrants, the US would still call you a Latino because you came from Peru.
