Pickens to McCain on Whites Becoming A Minority

This was a strange, somewhat paranoid comment (emphasis added):

“You’re looking trim," Pickens told McCain as they engaged in some small talk. Pickens mentioned yesterday’s Census article in a newspaper about how non-Hispanic whites would no longer be the majority in 2042.

“You and I won't have to worry about that,” Pickens said jokingly, referring to the age of the two men. 

What would there be to worry about? Is Pickens really that tribalistic? He might have just been joshing around, but knowing his political views I doubt it.
