Thanks I just meant that the article did address it.

The ad for Austin you posted cites census statistics from 4 years ago, which are more meaningful, but not the topic, and they still show the city as majority white.

It cites 2020 statistics, which are 3 years old, the city has not changed so dramatically in the past 3 years, it's just agitative hyperbole. Most important is that census stats are the most accurate stats.

Most of the United States is majority white, being a country founded by white people, this should not be a shocking fact nor a point of contention.

I didn't write the article, their point is that aspects of it (like the housing market) have changed in that specific period, not the period the ad you linked to discusses

The demographics of Austin have not meaningfully changed in the past 3 years. It's not in the data, it's just a made up hit piece. Even if it was slightly more white than it had been 3 years ago, no one say why that would be a bad thing.
