Hawaii and New Mexico seem to have a lot in common as majority-minority states such as:
1) Having no real majority, but a plurality of one group (Asians for HI, Hispanics for NM)
2) Both have around the same percentage of their indigenous populations (8.4% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander for HI, 8.7% Native American for NM)
3) Both have small black populations (2.2% for HI, 2.0% for NM)
4) Both were NEVER majority White Non-Hispanic (
Historical Census Statistics on Population Totals By Race, 1790 to 1990, and By Hispanic Origin, 1970 to 1990, For The United States, Regions, Divisions, and States) *NOTE: Hispanics used to be counted as White with Hispanic surnames until the mid 20th century.
On the same token, California and Texas have only one thing in common; having around the same percentage of Hispanics (36.1% for CA, 35.9% for TX) and
used to be majority White Non-Hispanic states, but differ in that;
1) Asians in CA are higher in percentage than Blacks in TX (12.1% vs. 11.3%)
2) There are less White Non-Hispanics in terms of % in CA than in TX (42.6% vs. 47.8%)
3) There are nearly twice as many Blacks in percentage of the population in CA than there are Asians in TX (6.0% vs 3.3% in TX)
4)There are also nearly twice as many multiracial people in CA than in TX in terms of percentage (3.4% vs 1.9%)
For CA vs. TX (for those that USED to be majority White but now majority minority), against the national average:
California has
35.4% less Whites than the national average
239% more Hispanics than the national average
281% more Asians than the national average
50.5% less Blacks than the national average
155% more people of two or more races than the national average
Texas has
27.5% less Whites than the national average
238% more Hispanics than the national average
6.7% less Blacks than the national average
23.3% less Asians than the national average
13.7% less people of two or more people than the national average
