State demographers say California's Hispanic population will equal that of whites within six months and exceed it early next year — a milestone in the country's racial and ethnic shifts.

Population projections released Thursday by the state Department of Finance show that Hispanics will become the dominant ethnic group in California for the first time.

By 2020, demographers say Hispanics will be about 41 percent of California's population, with whites less than 37 percent.

The white population will fall to about 30 percent by 2060 from the current 39 percent, affecting politics and public policy in the nation's most populous state. Whites currently lack a majority in only Hawaii and New Mexico.

Um... wouldn't the latino population exceed the white population almost immediately after equaling it?

Yes, but in terms of percentages without using decimals, jumping from 40/40 to 41/40 takes longer.

This is a great call back.

 

[TheFeedingHand]

Not surprised by this. There's barely any white people in Los Angeles and pretty much all of southern California

 

[pigeon]

I'm not sure how they imagine this will "affect politics and policy" in a state that just elected a Democratic supermajority. Maybe the Greens will win state office?

I don't really see that this matters much, but I guess if you were white you might think it matters.

Whoa, wait, you're hispanic? Mind blown.

They're dying off. White culture is basically a cancer.

No, I meant... since I'll be a minority soon I'm gonna be rolling in government initiatives to help me out soon

...Right?

 

[Rorschach]

In 7 years? They've been trying to scare white people with this since the 90s. Is this because of the new immigration policy?

This is what Adam Carolla feared for so long and what made him call for a "culling" of the Hispanic population. Welcome to your nightmare!

You lied to me, whitey.

Hispanic is not a race,
many Latinos are actually caucasian/ white

Let's bring back "mestizo"!

 

[Rayis]

I'm actually surprised this wasn't already the case, regardless, this will happen nationwide as well eventually

 

[gcubed]

I'm with timetokill ... bring on the gifts!

mestizo is a mix between native and white

 

[Rorschach]

mestizo is a mix between native and white

Which is basically most of Mexico, Central and South Americas.

 

[Hunter S.]

Yeah, my g- mother is "full Hispanic" with green eyes, yet as a 3/4 white blood I tan way darker.
Anyways most should know Hispanic is an ethnic group by definition.

quite an ignorent and over-generalised statement to say

Haven't you heard? Fox News said Hispanics are natural Republicans because they are religious and conservative, they just haven't been voting Republican because of the immigration stance the party had. Assuming the path to legalization bill passes, Republicans expect Hispanics to switch over to being Republican.

Heh I joke with my sister about her husband's family (Italian) being darker than us. She took a photo with them in a family photo and she was clearly the only one who had light skin, made her stood out.
