Because you say so, or is there an official designation that declares this? Didn't see that one in the paper this.morning.

How about the fact, that Hispanic residents are the largest percentage of residents in the state as of last year.

To see where the population is headed, look at the K-12 student population.

For the state as a whole, Hispanic students make up 52.7%. Whites make up 25.5% less than half the Hispanic students. Next largest ethnic group is Asians at 8.6%.

When we go to the higher population counties along the coast, we find that in Counties like San Francisco, Asians make up 34.2%, Hispanic 26.2%, and whites make up only 10.1%. Los Angeles the most populated county, Hispanics make up 64.6%, whites 23.2%, and only small percentages for other ethnic groups. Santa Clara (Silicon Valley) Hispanic 39%, Asians 27.4%, and white is 21.9%. Hispanics dominate except in the more remote low population counties of the state.

If we look to the California Department Of Finance and their projections from 2010 to 20160 (50 years), we see a huge growth in population, where Hispanics will dominate the state with over half the population, and Asians growing in population, and the white population to decline in both total numbers and very much decline in percentages of the population down to about half the Hispanic population.

The poverty rate keeps increasing in California. And the inability to speak English is another problem with a large part of the California population. 39.5% of California residents speak other than English at home, with the largest percentage of those Spanish is their language.

Of course this is a major problem in the schools, teaching children that have only a basic understanding of English.

California is not funding the schools, especially when you adjust for cost of living in California vs. other states, to the point they will be able to give a decent education to students, especially minority non English speaking students.

Forgive some of us who live in this state (as opposed to those who obsess on it from afar) for not getting all worked about non-white people moving here. One of the reasons people want to come here is to get away from that whole white power scene, which infests a great many places in our beloved country, for those that are into that sort of thing.
