"By 2050" is a meaningless statement, it's still 33 years away. We are the same distance from 2050 as we are from 1984.
Of course there are trends, but trends can reverse. They do all the time. There are all sorts of things that can happen between now and then. The United States could become less desirable for immigrants. White people, or even black people, could push back. Heck even immigrants can decide to return home.
Everybody just takes current trends, and extrapolates them infinitely out into the future, and calls that analysis. It's not, it's just jibberish. If that was true, nobody would die. Everybody would live to 150, 200, 300, 1000 years old. There would be no recessions, the stock market would never fall, it would rise to infinity.
