| Latinos set to surpass whites in California in March |
| 2014-01-17 |
| The Latino population is projected to surpass that of whites in California in March to become the single largest "race or ethnic group," according to a report on shifting demographics in Gov. Jerry Brown's 2014-15 budget proposal. Also, the number of residents 65 and older will jump by 20.7 percent over the next five years, the report said. State demographers expected Latinos to surpass the non-Hispanic white population seven months earlier, but Latino birth rates were lower than anticipated. Now, officials say, by March Latinos will make up 39 percent of California's population, edging out non-Hispanic whites at 38.8 percent. Nearly 25 years ago, non-Hispanic whites made up 57 percent of the state, while Latinos made up 26 percent. In 1940 the non-Hispanic White population of California was 89.5%, by 1970 it had dropped to 76.2%, 1990 57.2% and now 38.8%. This study left out the fact that since 1990 the non-Hispanic white population has decreased by 2.2 million. "White flight" "Demographic changes that are coming will reshape the electorate, and in turn that will likely have impacts on policies and issues that decision makers focus on in the coming decades," said Mindy Romero, director of the California Civic Engagement Project at the UC Davis Center for Regional Change. This Blue State has become Navy Blue and is in transition to become Midnight Blue. There is no turning back, KiloBravo and I are getting clearance for the Taxiway Statistics source U. S. Census Bureau Table 19. |

| #25 Our betters probably read the Census Forms. I'm not sure that self-identification is a reliable data criterium, GB, anymore than Latino is a race. The headline says Latinos set to surpass whites in California in March. The first line of the article doubles down with The Latino population is projected to surpass that of whites. WTF does that mean, really? Are all the white people I've ever known with Spanish last names suddenly not white? The fact is it is self-servingly beneficial to identify oneself as a chosen minority. Promotions, college admittance, scholarships, etc. I done seen it done, over and over agin, y'all. I guess what ticks me off is that this whole nonsense has an gratuitous racial aspect that gives the game away. Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake! |

| #24 Sorry rjschwarz - not to be disrespectful but you may want to leave the Coastal Communities, Gas Lamp, or North Park. If you are visiting SD, I apologize. But if you live here, you are misrepresenting. You only need to drive to SE SD - Barrio Logan & Logan Heights, south to National City or Chula Vista, further south to San Ysidro, east to El Centro. These are all ESL communities, English is not required. |

| #23 Dopey Sinatra Our betters probably read the Census Forms. 2010 Census form Question 8: Is Person 1 Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin? I work in healthcare and when you register a Patient you are required to ask the following questions: Preferred Language: You Name it Ethnicity: Hispanic or Latino, Not Hispanic or Latino, Unknown, Declined to Specify Race: Am Indian/Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian/Pac Islander, Asian, Black or African American, White, Other, Unknown, Declined to Specify Scots strawberry herder by way of France is not one of the answers you can pick. These rules came down from the Guvmint. |

| #22 #15 and 18 this probably describes other factors effecting the game. A new report shows that 64 percent of Chinese millionaires have either emigrated or plan to emigrate—taking their spending and fortunes with them. The United States is their favorite destination... The United States was their top destination, which any real estate agent in San Francisco, Seattle or New York can confirm. |

| #21 The DemoLeft has known or supported these demographic changes, vee their priority of the Welfare-Nanny State + Socialism, SO WHY ARE MANY NOW COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY THEMSELVES DID MUCH TO CAUSE OR CREATE. CONGRATULATIONS, THE PLAN WORKED, + CONTINUES TO DO SO - WHATS THE PROBLEM! |

| #20 Mother said my Irish and Cherokee came from her side of the family. She remarked that she thinks all the people on my father's side of the family are mostly jackasses. To me it doesn't matter what color skin the Maker gave you, if you are here to be free and to make an honest living. If losers come to the US to be welfare/Snap food stamp leaches and want to become just as much a loser as our domestic loser leaches, may they find themselves painted into a hellish corner, when the socialist gravy runs out and they are old, grey and too feeble to earn an income. That day WILL come. |

| #18 I dearly love Victor Eeyore Hanson, but he needs to get outta the farmin' bidness. As he quoted a "south Asian" neighbor, some folks are "played out." Fortunes are being made, depsite all nay-saying. Nut orchards have replaced cotton (spit!), wine grapes are everywhere, and oil is back. We're in a badass drought right now, but this too will pass. |

| #16 Lies, damn lies and government statistics. I don't see it either (and I live in an area where folks sell tamales door-to-door)(they're delicious). Our betters probably counted folks with Spanish-sounding last names. Doesn't make'm Hispanic or Latino any more than I'm a Scots strawberry herder by way of France. |

| #15 rjschwarz Get away from the Coast. The whole Central Valley is like a Hispanic "Mad Max". As an example of the top ten communities in the Nation with the highest stolen car rate, Modesto, Fresno, Bakersfield and Stockton rate 1 through 4. San Diego's population is strongly influenced by the Military and Military Retirees. I live in what used to be White Republican upscale enclave east of SF. We long ago went Donk. Our community is in transition to Far East and South Asian, Indian, Pakistan, Chinese etc. The local Costco is like a Tower of Babble with all the different languages spoken. Many, especially the women, are dressed in their traditional clothes from their country of origin. The White shoppers tend to be OFs like me. The area is still upscale but it's difficult to talk with your neighbor over the back fence unless you're multilingual. |

| #12 ...only somebody who ultimately pays the taxes (in one form or another). The affirmative action practiced by whites was done by their forefathers who either left or were chased out of Europe to begin with. They'll vote with their feet again to someplace where their productivity is appreciated. For the antithesis see Zimbabwe. |

| #10 CA is working very hard right now on a bill to grant illegals coverage under Covered California, or a separate program under Medi-Cal expansion. WHEN that happens - well there ya go. |

| #9 I'm in San Diego and I just don't see it. There are a lot of latino's but they don't seem to outnumber the whites by a longshot. I think we have 'projects' based on suspected illegals and other unprovables more than actual facts going on here. |

| #8 Of course, this exposes the whole lie of how the donks in CA have set up their spoils system. It was never about being a minority, it's all about being a member of an approved class. |

| #7 g(r)omgoru re: non-white Hispanics As a statistics junkie I have come to find out that most of the time the Guvmint lumps Hispanics in with Whites. This is particularly true when it comes to such things as crime statistics and out of wedlock births. You have to dig really hard to find a non-Hispanic White breakout in those areas. Breakout are usually only listed in stats that will be to the advantage of Libs, affirmative action, etc. |

| #6 "Demographic changes that are coming will reshape the electorate, and in turn that will likely have impacts on policies and issues that decision makers focus on in the coming decades," said Mindy Romero, director of the California Civic Engagement Project at the UC Davis Center for Regional Change. Gee, ya think? Almost makes you wonder if that's what they had in mind all along. Clinton, Obama, Napolitano and all of them. The only excuse I can think of for the likes of McCain is that he's just as crooked as they are and twice as stupid. |

| #5 Not to be confused with the Coastal White Crackers who really are not sharing the real important stuff, like their own assets and power, but put up a facade to give the impression that its an all inclusive game. They don't need Affirmative Action, they own the game. |

| #4 I don't think so, Charlie. They're always gonna be "disadvantaged". |

| #3 So now California Crackers can take advantage of Affirmative Action Policies... |

| #2 If minority = socialist/lefty Demo, as is implied by the political demographics, then how long until the system collapses onto itself due to a lack of innovators and producers (who are fleeing the welfare state and its crushing regulation and taxation). Eventually the government is going to run out of other people's money; then what? These fools act as if the golden geese are going to patiently hang around to be slaughtered. |
