CA White Flight

California has been what is called "majority-minority" for several years. Now the Sacramento Bee reports that Census Bureau data shows it isn't just percentages we're talking about.

There are actually fewer non-Hispanic whites in California than there were a decade ago, 850,000 fewer. The graphic associated with this article suggests the decline of non-Hispanic whites over the past two decades is roughly two million.

Meanwhile the numbers of Hispanics and Asians continue to rise and the number of African-Americans has held constant. The article predicts California will become Latino majority in 2025.
