California is now the first large state and the third overall — after Hawaii and New Mexico — without a white plurality, according to state officials.
The official confirmation had to wait until new population figures were released by the Census Bureau this summer. The new tally, released in late June, shows that as of July 1, 2014, about 14.99 million Latinos live in California, edging out the 14.92 million whites in the state.
The demographic shift has been a long time coming. In 1970, the 2.4 million Latinos in California accounted for 12% of the population, while the 15.5 million whites in the state made up more than three-quarters of residents, according to state figures. By 1990, the Latino population jumped to 7.7 million, or about 25% of the state's population.
The Latino population is relatively young, with a median age of about 29, while the aging white population has a median age of 45. State demographers project Latinos will account for about 49% of Californians by 2060.
yaaaaaaaaaaaassss! and if anyone disagrees look up the history of California. This land was snatched from mexico by the Spaniards but now we are slowly taking it back
Do you know that Mexico or New Spain had people before the spanish invasion? How can they take back something that never was theirs to start with...
The Mexican area was under the Spanish Empire. They claimed it as theirs. By conquest.
Like really. What your saying is the critisim of colonialism. Why did the English take the land from the Native Americans? Because they said it was theirs. It's a simple concept you learn in 3rd grade history.
PerchedT for the yummy white supremacist tears
it all makes sense.
