California’s white population has declined since 2000 at an unprecedented rate, hastening the day when Hispanics will be the state’s largest population group, according to newly released state figures.
Analysts said the decline can be attributed to two main causes – a natural population decrease as Baby Boomers enter their later years and die at a faster rate than younger whites have children, and a migration from California since 2001 among whites who sought affordable housing as real estate costs soared.
The study also confirmed projections that a steadily growing Hispanic population will surpass whites as the state’s largest racial demographic in 2016. Hispanics are expected to become a majority of all Californians in 2042, Heim said.
John has posted previously about the movement to take Southwest states from the US.
A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico.
Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.
#28 Gotchya. You guys are so easy. It’s like fishing in a barrel.
Having lived in New Mexico for 20 years, I’ve observed that most Hispanics in this state (except for Truxillo, who’s a nutcase) are perfectly happy being Americans and have no intent to turn the Southwest into Mexico del Norte. Many of them still speak Spanish, but the ones living in the far northern parts of the state speak “real” Spanish, not Mexicanized Spanish. There’s also “Spanglish,” which combines English and Spanish. The longer immigrants live here, the less they speak Mexican Spanish and Spanglish, for economic reasons like jobs. They soon learn English so they can climb the economic ladder. The same happens in AZ and TX of course, and probably in CA as well.
As a refugee from the People’s Republic of California and a ‘Zonie’ since 2006, I have only one answer: “Fuck You”.
First, this would never happen for a variety of reasons outside of a post-apocalyptic scenario, namely any self-respecting president, reminded of A. Lincoln, wouldn’t allow a secession; Here in AZ we not only are making the environment inhospitable to illegal immigrants, our official language is English and we have also recently passed a bill to kill off these ‘cultural perspective’ classes in high schools and colleges that do nothing but foment racism and these types of false history revisions.
Now, during the War Between the States, of which the Confederate Territory of Arizona was the western-most ground of hostility (Picacho Peak), there were plans to purchase or annex Sonora and Chihuahua. This we should probably still do at some point. And for that matter, we could do far better with the 2000 miles of coastline Baja has than the United States of Mexico has up to this point.
Just some food for thought for the La Raza crowd.
Just give em Arnold and the rest of the idiots in CA right now. Why wait?
Perhaps this guy is friends with that Russian “US Expert” Igor Panarin who predicts that US will fall apart 2010 and be taken over and carved up by Mexico, Canada, China, and Europe. Oh, and he predicts that Alaska will go back to Russia. Mr. Panarin gets a lot of airtime and print in Russia and other US hating nations.

I got two words for you: Magna Carta
Hey, whatever happened to that superhighway between the Texas border and Detroit?
With 54 electoral votes, it sounds like a Democrats wet dream to me. No wonder they don’t want to do anything about illegal immigration.
#42 Patso – That’s not fair. The aliens from QRN-1185 to not have a Consulate to apply for visas.
And, by the way, a few million light years sure makes the Rio Grande sound kind of puny!

Yep.
“First, no link to the original article? Shoddy.”
Yep, thanks for pointing that out. I haven’t really posted in a while, sort of forgot the whole original link thing. It’s fixed now.
“After all, the graphic links to another in a long line of loony crank sites, a racist, antisemitic, wingnut website called aztlan.net.”
I couldn’t resist that link. It’s hilarious.
Los Angeles is already a part of Mexico. It’s run by Mexico, has a Mexican mayor, and it’s the second largest Mexican city outside of Mexico City.
Sure, the USA may maintain legal control from afar, but it’s Mexico and everyone knows it.
For those not convinced, make your vacation plans to visit Mexico, err, I mean LA this summer. You will be convinced the future is not good.
Firstly, this is pretty obvious. Hispanic population is increasing but it’s also increasing in other states as well. As for voting itself out as one of the states, well…watch Boston Legal, the episode specifically on this topic 🙂
My only beef is with the lazy-ass, all night partying, bear drinking and thus drunk all day and all night families. These illegals should be ship back as they only cause problems in all areas.
I’ve been taking Spanish classes and have had hispanic friends for years so I’m ready to conform.
since when do you have to be white to be part of USA?

Okay, sfgate.com from Sunday — much better! Read the full article, folks, it’s interesting. A couple of quotes:
“There were half a million fewer whites in California in 2008 than in 2000, a period when the state’s overall population grew by 4 million to 38.1 million, according to a study released Thursday by the state Department of Finance.”
I didn’t realize the number actually decreased, I thought it was just as a proportion of the whole.
“Yet, San Francisco’s racial mix remained consistent. Forty-four percent of the city was white in 2008, 30 percent was Asian and 14 percent was Hispanic, just as it was in 2000. Only the city’s African American population showed a slight decline, from 7 percent to 6 percent.”
Like the way gravitationally-bound galaxies stay the same size even though space itself is expanding and the galaxies are flying apart from each other, people tend to stay in/around a truly beautiful city like San Fran (airport era), formerly known as Frisco (railroad era).

# 48 WTF:
“since when do you have to be white to be part of USA?”
Amen, brother!
I think we would be much better off without the fucking Feds bleeding us dry. We support half the US and feed most of it, so they would be eager to be our friends so we would sell them some food and marijuana. The Mexicans are still hard workers and most Americans wouldn’t work hard for anything, and as others have pointed out California is as Mexican as it can be without outlawing gringos.
What have we got to lose but a huge burden and an insane government that practices war without end. I am definitely for separating from the evil and corrupt USA.
This is as crazy as thinking Obama would blame the oil spill on Sarkozy since the French once controlled Louisiana.,,3,2,1

Great! Just what the world needs, a Mexican North Korea!
