The Long Walk released in 2025

24% of new recruits are Black; a further 24% are Latino. Proof: https://mastodon.social/@audubonballroon/115414320977048325

white populations are shrinking across the planet. whites are predicted to become a minority in the US at least by 2044

In 2018, 56.4% of new recruits were categorized as white. In 2023, that number had fallen to 44%. During that same five-year period, Black recruits have gone from 20% to 24% of the pool, and Hispanic recruits have risen from 17% to 24%, with both groups seeing largely flat recruiting totals but increasing as a percentage of incoming soldiers as white recruiting has fallen.
