    In America, they would not have very long before they started having to forage for food.

    A majorly significant portion of the workforce for agriculture are non-white.

    There may be a few locations that can maintain business as usual, but the world is going to collapse, and it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when, and I’m guessing for most people that will be less than 30 days.

    Of course I won’t be there to see it, I will have been raptured along with the rest of everyone, so best of luck.

      Aren’t most agricultural workers in the US hispanic? They aren’t WASP, but most of them aren’t exactly black, either.

        “Only white people” is what I’m going off of. That would mean no Asians, no natives, no middle eastern people. Just whites.

        The whites would survive, but the world would be a different place and a lot of them would die from starvation and/or some inability to adapt to the world suddenly without people of color.

        That would be true even if the 6.5 billion or so people that evaporated from the planet were chosen indiscriminately of race though, but given the vocational specialization of white vs nonwhite people then it would be worse for the survivors right at the beginning in the whites only scenario.
