Whites are rapidly becoming a minority demographic in the US.

I feel like the time has come to retire the term "AW," which implies a typical White-American woman. That woman doesn't exist anymore, at least not in large enough numbers under 50. Today's "AW" is more likely to be black, Indian, Hispanic, or Middle-Eastern. The difference is, of course, that you can't apply the "Feminist" label to those groups, because they're traditional/conservative. Nonetheless they're the new face of America. For better or for worse, the number of White AW of childbearing age is undergoing a historic decline, in contrast to other groups:

Also: White Women Influencing Shift to Majority-Minority NationRelated to their younger age profiles, racial and ethnic minority groups also include a higher share of women in the prime child-bearing ages of 20-34. Fully a quarter (25%) of the nation’s Hispanic women are in this age group, according to the population estimates, compared with fewer than one-in-five non-Hispanic whites (19%). For non-Hispanic blacks and Asians, the share is 22%.

It’s not just that white women are having fewer children, there are simply fewer non-Hispanic white women between ages 20 and 39.
