I think it is a numbers game. China FTW!
It's not really a numbers game per-country, because it's always your country vs. the world.
If China loses 200 million rolling over Japan, 200 million on Indonesia, 200 million on Russia and Mongolia, by the time it gets to India it's toast and never makes it to face the US.
At the same time if a couple nations gang up on the US they could take it down.
It's all about the alliances that would form. I think you'd see the loosely-defined Western World - Europe, the Americas, Australia, along with most of Africa and maybe India/Japan/Indonesia, a group of about 4 billion - take down the rest of the world (China, middle east, other unfortunate outliers) by outnumbering them.
Of the remaining bunch, Europe/America/Canada/Austrailia (the white people) would drop the outliers from the alliance, again outlasting them by numbers. Obviously these winning nations are losing members as they go, but I'm assuming they lose them at the same proportions.
I would like to say this leaves the US in position to win, but they'd only be about 33% of the population at this point. More likely that Canada/Europe/Australia gang up on them, and the US is toast.
Now the major remaining division is "western Europe" and "eastern Europe," the former communist states. Western Europe is a bit stronger, and Australia and Canada would join them and win.
If we revisit the numbers game we're still not left with the major Western European countries (Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, and France) and a few other
