The news that Latinos will become California’s majority ethnic group isn’t new news.
The state’s last set of projections, in 2004, predicted it would happen by 2038, but the Finance Department adjusted its predictions to account for longer life expectancies that should keep more elderly whites around in future decades.
So Latinos will be the majority later, by 2042, according to new population projections released Monday. By 2050 52 percent of all Californians will be Latino, and whites will be just 26 percent of the population.
This of course is cause for concern on a number of levels (not including the “his-panic” that many whites may be experiencing)
