Well, complacency is never good, but the challenge to the US will not be

2) Europe decides it wants to be multi-ethnic.

"Britain's population is set to rise by more than 5 million over the next 25 years - boosted by a growing number of immigrants, according to the latest survey.
Figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) predict the net number of immigrants coming into the country by 2025 will be around 135,000 a year.
These numbers will provide a boost to the overall UK population - last year an estimated 59.8 million - which is expected to grow to nearly 65 million by 2025."
"Britain's population will continue to age over the next 25 years, with the average age expected to rise from last year's 38.8 up to 42.6.
The workforce will be able to draw on more people of working age in the future, with numbers expected to rise by 6% to 39 million by 2011. "
