I don't see why - in other countries throughout the world, minorities live in harmony with majorities, especially when they're ethnically very distinct, so that they are still visibly a different group even after culturally assimilating.
It is only the US where this is a source of conflict.
I think the parent answers this question fairly well: many white people in the US don't want black people to be the majority, because they fear that black people will then have the power to retaliate for centuries of oppression.
And beyond that, they fear that a "new majority" will change culture and values (and as a result, law) in ways that make them uncomfortable.
This doesn't only apply to the white/black dynamic. And it's all bullshit, of course, but the people in power (who are mostly older white people) have been using effective fear-mongering tactics for decades.

Not sure this is sarcasm or just naivety when other countries have literal wars and genocides over these RIGHT NOW
