I would venture to say that in 20yrs, there may not be a single white person in the league. Right now, white people are predominantly O/D linemen, QB's and very few other skill positions ie linebacker, slot recievers.
Seems the white slot receiver is a staple in the league and is here to stay

During the entire debate of race in the late 1980's after the Jimmy the Greek debacle...they had a round-table discussion about race and sports with Brent Musburger (I think) and a bunch of guests like Harry Edwards, etc. talking about fast-twitch muscles and all these "myths" of genetic differences.

So they had this black track coach from Stanford and he said he would find a white Carl Lewis and put to bed this notion that black athletes have it easier genetically in sports.

Never happened.

Until black guys who are more athletic and skilled take it over.

The white QB use to be a staple as well.
