The United States is 76.3% white ( https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045219 ), it's not a division it's a number, there are just literally less people of color in the country, a minority of the population.

60% if you exclude Hispanics. Which, of course, raises its own questions about categorizations and who gets to make the definitions.
