For The First Time Since It Was Mexico, California Now Has More Latinos Than Whites
Two weeks ago, we highlighted a statistic that reflects the rapid demographic shift taking place in America. Non-Hispanic whites, Bloomberg reported, citing the Census Bureau, are no longer the majority in Americans under 5 years old.
Why does this matter or, perhaps more to the point, why do we mention it here? Because demographic shifts often have far-reaching consequences for the economy. Here’s what we said last month:
Shifting demographics are affecting everything from the labor market, to homeownership, to race relations in America.
In “The ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Recovery” for instance, we documented the stunning fact that the US has added 2.3 million "foreign-born" workers, offset by just 727K "native-born" since December 2007. Because the "foreign-born" category includes both legal and illegal immigrants, it may well be that the surprise answer why America's labor productivity has plummeted in recent years and certainly months, and why wage growth has gone precisely nowhere, is because the vast majority of all jobs since December 2007, or 75% to be specific, have gone to foreign-born workers.
As for the housing market, we recently cited data from the Urban Institute which shows that because the vast majority of new households in the next decade will be formed by minorities, and because minority groups tend to have lower homeownership rates, the overall homeownership rate in America — which has already retraced twenty years' worth of gains — will likely slide further in the coming years.
These are but two examples of how much demographic shifts matter. Against this backdrop we present the following chart and brief commentary from the LA Times with no further comment:
The shift shouldn't come as a surprise. State demographers had previously expected the change to occur sometime in 2013, but slow population growth pushed back projections. In January 2014, the state Department of Finance estimated the shift would take place at some point in March.
Either way, the moment has officially arrived.
"This is sort of the official statistical recognition of something that has been underway for almost an entire generation," said Roberto Suro, director of the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute at USC.
California is now the first large state and the third overall — after Hawaii and New Mexico — without a white plurality, according to state officials.
"Where L.A. goes is where the rest of the state goes and where the rest of the country goes," he said. "We announce, demographically speaking, the future for the rest of the country."

should have been there in the 60's and 70's....way better.
Stick a fork in this mother fucker. The illegal welfare rolls are too large for even the well educated hard working Legal Mexicans to support.
I love dumb as shit, know-nothing Americans like yourself.
Net migration is a around zero. Immigrants commit crimes at a lesser rate than natives, and we spend more money on the mortgage interest deduction and deductions for corporate interest payments than the Federal govt. Spends on ALL welfare programs combined. (Not just your "illegals:)
All facts, dipshit.
I seriously love you fucks, you make molehills out of mountains and mountains out of molehills.
I mean you guys are dumb as shit, so at least it all makes sense logically.
I have yet to hear a Republican give me one CONCRETE policy action that makes Obama a "leftist", by the way, without spouting their usual inane nonsense of "community organizer", "keynan", "Obola". It's been almost 8 years now...time is running up.
Like I said, at least you morons are consistent.
Bernie 2016.
You're calling people morons but you're pimping Bernie "No, my hope and change is different! Really!" Sanders?
I was never for President Obama. Never. However, I will defend him against conservative morons who think he's actually a communist. (Again, give me ONE policy that makes him even a Democratic Socialist, just one...)
And I'll defend him against my "liberal" friends (they aren't actually liberals), OBAMA HAS DONE EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO. He's basically Bush 41. He ran on keeping too big to fail, tripling down in Afghanistan, nothing on the climate, and a fascist (not socialist) health care bill. He appointed TWO republican SecDef, and re-upped a Republican to head the Fed.
If Obama is anything close to a "socialist", he's the worst one ever. Inequality of wealth and income at all time highs along with poverty and the continued destruction of the middle class.
But the good news, all the morons on here have been spouting that Obama is in fact a socialist, crying wolf once too many times. Now, the average dumb as shit American actually probably thinks he is one. This is perfect, now a DEMOCRATIC socialist is running, so calling him one means nothing. You already did it to Bush 41, I mean Obama.
Bernie on the other hand is first politician in my lifetime (I'm 28) running on actually making the lives of the average American better. Free college, vacation time, sick-leave, family leave, higher wage for my less fortunate friends, somethi bf on climate change, guaranteed health care for all.
Obama....ran on absolutely none of this, which is why I didn't vote for him, but why I give generously to Senator Sanders, and will continue to do so.
Like I said, this all fits a pattern, left and right of people who know nothing, and continue to misread reality. There is not one elected leader,in a rich country, that is to the right of Barack Obama. Not even close, in terms of actual policy.
The good news for me is I should be fluent in dutch by the time of the next election should Bernie lose.
I'm sure, should he win, my conservative friends will threaten to leave. And I'll ask, where will you go that's more right wing than the usa? Crickets, or some will answer Switzerland. HA. I've lived there. Right wing, haha.
They wouldn't last 3 days there. Well, actually they would because if they were just smart enough they'd realize how much better the Swiss system is than our's. Hint: it's not because every Swiss house has a shotgun, but I don't want to spoil it for them.
Bernie 2016
I don't give a fuck what anybody "calls" Obama, because he's a corporate toady and nothing more.
"Free" college"? Universal health care? "Something" on climate change? Higher wages for the "less fortunate"? Is Bernie also promising a national debt of an even $30 trillion and all jobs pay $15/hr but you can only work 13 hours a week? By the way something, he's running for President, not Fuerher (at least for now). How's he supposed to make all this magical shit happen?
I doubt you have "friends" of any political persuasion. It's more likely that they are just people who tolerate your pompous, self-righteous ranting because they're afraid if they don't, you'll start shooting.
Guns are for losers. Don't need them.
I have no problem with ANYONE who basis their position on facts, not bullshit/racism/lies/xenophobia.
If you and I agree on point A, and we have differing options, I will never give anyone shit for their opinion. Ever.
If you say the sky is green, or that Mexicans are "pouring through the border like water" (Trump) , I'll give you shit.
If founding positions based on facts is pompous, than I'm pompous.
And guess what asshole, my Swedish and Dutch friends have everything Bernie is running on. And guess what? They're not broke.
The difference between Greece and Sweden is one doesn't collect taxes.
Again, a fact.
The difference between Greece and Sweden is that one country has productive citizens and the other doesn't. That's changing quickly though.
http://www.newgeography.com/content/00814-swedens-taxes-the-hidden-costs...
"If you and I agree on point A, and we have differing options, I will never give anyone shit for their opinion. Ever." A statement that makes zero sense. If we agree, how can we differ?
Are your Dutch and Swedish friends starting $18 trillion in hole? Is there a direct correlation between what are still mostly ethnically homogenous nations with a combined population that's 7.5% of a hugely diverse nation with a population of 330 million? And who said shit about Greece (by the way, the real difference, Mr. FACTS, is that Sweden has their own currency, not the Euro. Again, A FACT!)?
"Guns are for losers. Don't need them." Then how are going to defend yourself against the Dylann Roofs? Your kung fu superpowers?
Of, seeing that you're 28yo transplant to the Bay Area, it's obvious that you would beleive the only alternative to "All Mexicans are rapists!" is "No Mexicans are rapists!".
The Earth is flat.
FACT.
See? it's easy.
"Bernie on the other hand is first politician in my lifetime (I'm 28) running on actually making the lives of the average American better. Free college, vacation time, sick-leave, family leave, higher wage for my less fortunate friends, somethi bf on climate change, guaranteed health care for all."
College paid for by the productive to produce unproductive womens studies majors, get paid to not work, get paid to not work, take from the productive to give to the unproductive, carbon tax, health care for the unproductive paid for by the productive.
There fixed it for you.
What an unlearned moron.
Name ONE FUCKING thing that I said that is incorrect, outside of my last line, which pertains to the future.
One. Fucking. Thing.
Go ahead.
Make my day.
Where you at, bra?
Please explain:
1. "net migration is a around zero"(sic)
2. Dept. of Justice figures conflict with "Immigrants commit crimes at a lesser rate than natives". Is the DOJ telling lies again? Federal convictions against Hispanics is due to racism? in your twisted world?
Are your misstatements due to stupidity or do you have an agenda?
Lets go, bro.
Net migration has been around zero since the financial crisis. Before then, it was not. Since then it has been. Exactly what I fucking said.
Where are your "DOJ figures"?, Senator McCarthy?
You think a group of people who have to be afraid of getting so much as a speeding ticket, by and large, are likely to commit crimes like natives?
Yes, go ahead and spout anecdotes like about the woman who was killed where I live last Thursday by a Mexican national.
I'm much more worried about people like you and the Dylan Roofs of the world.
But, hey, like I said, none of you can ever give direct evidence on the claims you make. Why? Because they're not true.
Every credible study says that immigration, from Mexico is net zero and that immigrants commit less crimes. Do they commit no crimes? Of course not, but they do commit less.
As Pat Moynihan said, you are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.
I loved Trump yesterday with that reporter, "maybe what you're saying is true, maybe it's not true, but I'm not going to change my position".
Americans.
And I have no fucking agenda. I'll leave. I really don't care. What I do care about are people saying things that are patently false.
PLEASE FIND YOUR HORSESHIT "DOJ FIGURES".
So.
Where are you getting these FACTS, as you call them?
Daily Kos?
Haha.
You sir, are a parrot, sponge and a fool. A parrot because you repeat back all the garbage you were fed in your liberal community college. A sponge because you soaked all that garbage up. And a fool for believing it in the first place.
"Where are your "DOJ figures"?, Senator McCarthy?
Looks like we have a new kind of communist in the usa.
Go suck Obama's dirty dick , see if you can replace Reggie and then shove your ignorant communist motherfucking propaganda up your own ass.
Yes, and both parties have conspired to make it that way.
If Texas becomes a blue state, a conservative of any degree may never get elected as POTUS again.
Hitlery and a contingent of progressive liberal successors may reign until the nation collapses.
Oh I wouldnt worry about Texas turning blue.
Austin isnt our largest city.....
Houston is blue and it is a huge sanctuary city.
Prepsite.org: The White Privilege Mythos http://www.prepsite.org/2015/07/white-privilege-mythos.html?spref=tw
California population: 1960 percent non-Hispanic white: 92
See 1960 Census data for California; scroll to Table 14:
[Calculation: White population (14,455,230) divided by Total population (15,717,204) = 92 percent]
California population: 2013 percent non-Hispanic white: 37
How did this happen?
Well a few incidentals were Ronald Reagan's AMNESTY in 1986 for UNTOLD millions of illegals.
1982 Plyler v. Doe decision (5-4) forced states to fund K-12 schooling for illegal alien children in the U. S.
And of course the NAIL in the COFFIN of America:
Ted Kennedy is not responsible for the Immigration Act of 1965
Time to move.
where you gonna move you dumb fuck? mexicans are everywhere, but beyond that.......without mexicans america would be fucked. plus mexican food is hte shit
Who left the door open?
Now we have flies in the house.
All over the world, the whites are being out-fucked.
except the white gays, but then as hard as the fuck they are still losing ground demographically.
@worbsid: Research r/K Selection in Population Biology.
your future is a country where old lechers aggressively hitting on 12-year-old girls will be considered normal
As a Californian, seriously, who gives a fuck.
If the amount of people of color that surrounds you is a big concern of yours...Well then you are a fucking loser.
Grow the fuck up.
Oh wait! Where am I? An enlightened place? My bad, this is ZH!
All Mexicans are rapists!
Yea. Same here in S Florida but in Miami I keep running into these guys who look just like regular white guys but they speak spanish. I decided to marry one of their hot looking sisters and learn the language. Really nice people and well educated. What a great culture to be part of.
Yeah I'm from Cleveland, originally. It's nice to see someone other than a bunch of pasty, fat- ass white people.
Wait, wait, wait, hold the fuckin' phone! Are you saying that there might be different socioeconomic groups with different lifestyles and aspirations IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES? Why isn't our government doing something to get the rest world back to be a homogenous blob of heavily-tanned, low IQ criminals speaking nothing but heavily accented English?
that's next on their list, first on their list is to get everyone buttfucking each other. Fortunately they are making progress on buttfucking wedding cakes.
"Criminals," all Mexicans are "criminals." Please edit your comment to fix that.
This is starting to happen here in Oregon too. If this shit keeps up someone is going to lose it and pull an Anders Breivik.
I was just reading a day or so ago that King County, which contains Seattle, is the largest county in the US to have a White majority, 62%. They added that the county would be MAJORITY MINORITY by 2035 at the latest.
Back in 2004 there was bit of information mentioned in an AP story about the election that was to be held later that year they said that Whites were 60% of the population at that time. Also keep in mind that many brown-skinned Latinos check "White" on Census forms and .gov counts Arabs, Jews, and others as White, and these mentioned groups do NOT identify as White. If we are 50% of the population RIGHT NOW I would be surprised.
The Pacific NW as a whole is very homogenous compared to the rest of the country.
I don't know all the ins and outs of Washington state's demographics, but the Hispanic population has swelled considerably in Oregon. Part of it has to do with our generous state welfare system and the other part being that we're right next to CA. We're not in full-retard mode yet but I can see it happening in the not-so-distant future. In fact I may be seeing that future when I go to Hillsboro or Beaverton.
I'm just worried that at some point all of this suppression by the media about any criticism regarding immigration will cause someone to go over the cliff and do something really bad like what Anders Breivik did when he lashed out over Muslim immigration in Norway. Obviously such a thing happening would be ridiculously low but there is only so much suppression SJWs and the far left can do before the dam breaks if you know what I mean.
Seattle has always had the reputation for "whiteness"
Breivik is scandinavian in scandinavia, you lot are whiteys in a stolen land. Get a grip.
Trump's getting to be pretty unpopular in spanish speaking places.

He's pretty unpopular any place where speaking occurs.
amc is great because it allowed all different people from all parts of the world and traditions the biggest issue i see with latinos, is our governments allowing them to use their spanish speaking, this difference them from english speaking populations and will never fully integrate
Latinos can be white. Hello. Argentina and Uruguay are almost totally white.
Yes, but their Catholics and don't count.
Obviously you don't compute... If they are white (aka germanic, slavic, celtic, etc....) then they are NOT latino. Geographic location and bloodline are two entirely different things. I live in america, that does not make me "american".
The article and ZH bloggers are overlooking one important fact on this "race" business:
That even in Mexico (and other Latin countries) there is the great Racial Divide between those of predominantly European ancestry, and those of predominantly Native ancestry. The former have finer facial features and look Spanish, but the latter have visible Indian features.
What few also dare to talk about, is the fact that the Ruling Elite (Oligarchs) in Mexico and across Latin America are typically of mostly European ancestry, and that the Peasant class are not.
Therefore, those who come to the US illegally are of the Peasant class, not the European/Elite group. This would be even more apparent to you if you spent time in Santiago or in Buenos Aires, where you'd swear you were in Spain.
Sorry to upset some tender souls with Inconvenient or Uncomfortable Truths.
First time I saw a copy of Ford's "The International Jew" was a Spanish translation on the bookshelf of a Nicaraguan woman living in CA who hated "immigrants": "They're all uneducated and low-class." See, they're just like us!
A Buenos Aires resident to a Peace Corps volunteer: 'Why aren't you in Paris? This is a first world country!"
On that note, look at Jorge Ramos, Mr white European Mexican himself. He does however have the gall to lecture Trump on the virtues of all the alleged border crosses from Mexico, coming into the US.
You are all illegal immigrants, white or mexicans.
If the decline in wage growth is in fact a result of immigration, would it not follow that the damage is occuring mostly at the high wage end, not the low wage jobs that recent low-skilled immigrants generally take? I think the alphanumerics are "H1B".
EDIT: By the way something else, could we please put a stake through the heart of the "having a mortgage" equals "home ownership" fucktardness? That's a dangerous fiction right up there with the notion that the FICA money taken out of my paycheck is somehow still "mine", the gov's just holding it for me.
If you were just looking at LA and everything south I'd say this happened a while back.
That headline should read, "illegals look to turn California into the shit hole that Mexico is since it was part of Mexico."
Not that it already wasn't a shit hole thanks to the democrats but now it will have the official stamp of Mexican shit hole.
Here in idaho people are amazed how many people from California are moving here. I told them there is a reason. It's California and their idiot democrats.

Have fun in idaho and enjoy the influx of dumb fucks from california
You turned out to be a nasty little man. Well, your moniker is not ironic, unfortunately. In your case, the book can be judged by the cover.
you should be disappointed californians are moving to idaho buddy. they are already ruining Washington state.
destroy one place, then move to another and repeat. fucking morons.
Dont worry. TPP will bring in 600 million southeast Asians aka Indians. Who cares whether or not slaves are white? As long as they work as slaves, Yes We Can.
at least its not canadians invading america! mexicans over canadians any day
This is hilarious.
I realize I've been here longer than 99.9% of the fucks on here. In this parable, I'm the white guy. And all of you are the Hispanics "pouring through the border like water".
In reality you're just a bunch of inbred fucks from 'Tucky and 'Bama.
You want "your country back"?
I want my ZH back.
They Occupying what they see as occupied territory. Taking back MexIco 1 house at a time. :)
To Silver Buller (I want my ZH back) reply didn't connect to post ..

Just mention the Obama Phone and get 100 up votes.
Point out that Reagan started the “phone” and get thrown into the wood chipper.
I actually offered to make a pledge of $50 to Zero Hedge if anyone could prove that the Obama had anything at all to do with the phone …… nothing but crickets. Still donated - now I feel stupid for doing .....
Interesting to observe the Fox “News” types in action – too funny.
Many conservative Americans look back on Reagan with a mystifying nostalgia.
Mystifying, that is, until you examine the contemporary predecessors and any of the successors: cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry.
yes, but it was obama that gives it to anyone.
Reagon, not so much.
… but it was obama that gives it to anyone.
The president is personally responsible for handing out phones? Passed a law for handing out phones? An executive order for handing out phones? … let’s see what’s left ….. what did HE do again specifically for giving out free phones …. I’ll wait.
As a EU citizen, suffering enormously under the immigration of moameds from Afrika and Asia, I begrudge Americans in US, to get nice and peaceful Hispanios.
However 120 years ago the territory was Mexico anyhow.
'Latino' is racist, for they are all 'Murricans now. It's the melting-pot, stupid.
Cultural Marxist college professors are now saying that the "Melting Pot" idea is 'racist'...
Don't you mean Aztlan?
Diversity means chasing down every last White Person.
Diversity = White Genocide
Search: Horus the Avenger's Follow the White Rabbit
The white race is disappearing. abortion, euthanasia, feminism, forced multiculturalism...
It's OK, I'm sure the new majority will be as keen on multiculturalism as the previous one.
Or, maybe the new desertification will have the emigres heading north and east.
"We are all Mexicans now."
So Mexico gets a piece of its sovereign nation back...too bad that it's full of imported morons that have turned a once pristine land into a dried up sewer who don't know the difference btween shit and shinola.
As for lamenting the disappearance of the so-called "white race" that is like lamenting the loss of the AIDS virus at a funeral.

We need another Operatoin Wetback otherwise Calif. will soon be another third world country. People are already leaving the state in droves for places where they aren't taxed and regulated to death and subject to the bizarro world of the Calif. legislature and Gov. Moonbeam who thinks "global warming" will give him all the money he needs to make things equal. Hispanics are only slightly smarter than blacks, which isn't saying much. The schools are a mess but teachers still earn outrageous salaries and benefits.
Good. Whites are over-rated.
Anytime you'd care to compare and contrast the achievements of your race with that of the white races, I'm sure one of the two lists is going to be extremely short.
Funny you should mention that...

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Weird how the California crime rate has increased in lockstep with its browning...
You're not supposed to notice.
