As it currently stands whites are having kids but below replacement rate. There are factors to why so could addressing those factors first before having a family possibly be a smart idea? Fixing the system which causes low birth rates will allow people to have more kids as a result of the natural flow of life.
Key differences: "Fixing the system" is mostly OUT of your hands, having a family is mostly IN your hands. "Fixing the system" will take an indeterminate amount of time, potentially decades, by which time it may be impossible for one to have a family, so it makes no sense to prioritize that goal to the exclusion of starting a family and having children.
Of course the two things aren't mutually exclusive but it's always best to focus on what you have control over first and foremost and build from there.
