Yeah, it's not a perfect argument. I do assume that population demographics would change in certain areas more than others over time, but the areas I'm thinking of have kept the Irish/Scottish influence for a couple hundred years at this point, and it's not a stretch to think it could continue on that way. New England is less racially diverse than the US as a whole, and I don't think that is changing much, or at least not at the speed it is in some other locations. Obviously things would change given enough time, but I get the impression that there are lots of places in New England that are still quite insular- no big industry prompting outsiders to come, and there are better oppourtunities elsewhere.

It's less an assumption that everybody is white and more "Given the current population demographics of New England and the Maritimes, and the history that has Irish/Scottish traditions persisting in these areas, it is not a huge stretch to assume that the small surviving population from this area may have heavy Irish/Scottish influences culturally and genetically." D4 might not even be in that area and the point is completely moot, but that's how I read it.
