Are there any areas of Los Angeles that are still mostly white (El Monte: middle-class, crime)

Most of the working class white communities have become minority majority communities. Since white flight of the 1950's and 1960's. South LA, Mid-City Compton, Athens, Lynwood, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Florence-Firestone was the 1st wave. The 2nd wave was not racial but economic due to the closing of manufacturing industries(also 1986 Amnesty which has been said contributed to this) : North Long Beach, Bellflower, Paramount,Downey, Norwalk, Anaheim, Fullerton, South Gate, Huntington Park, Bell, Bell Gardens, Buena Park, Fullerton, Glendale, Burbank, Garden Grove, Santa Ana; Orange and where I Live Hawaiian Gardens .

Ironically, I was on the Chicago forum and there was a subject on affordable white neighborhoods and cities. Boy, how wild that some places still had such places like Blue Island and Alsip for example while Country Club Hills is the Richest black town in America.( Being black that was incredible considering LA doesn't have wealthy black cities Ladera Heights, View Park and Windsor Hills are unincorporated LA County and Baldwin Hills is within the city of L.A. and don't have direct control of their destiny)

Country Hills is NOT the richest Black suburb in America.

There are majority Black suburbs in Prince George's County (suburban D.C.) that are WAY richer than Country Hills.
Mitchellville is a good example.

Even Olympia Fields where the singer R.Kelly lives is wealthier than Country Hills. That town is also majority Black (but to a lesser degree than the other town).

Ladera Heights, View Park, and Windsor Hills are unincorporated L.A. County, but they're still NOT Los Angeles.
They're not L.A. neighborhoods, like Baldwin Hills.

They are still suburbs (like Culver City), and much more affluent than the Country Hills area.

I believe that is difficult to determine unless one runs around checking neighborhoods throughout the whole county.

where are all the whites and blacks going then?

I have no idea about blacks, but whites have been flocking to Colorado and Texas from California in huge numbers since the early 90s.

Better yet, send him to Fallbrook in North San Diego County, where the Head of the Aryans lives.

I'm glad you have finally figured out this thread topic is about neighborhoods not museums.

The maps and discussion does not mention the three predminately gay areas of greater LA - they are West Hollywood (and adjacent parts of LA/Hollywood), Silver Lake and downtown Long Beach. These areas tend to show up on demographic maps as "no majority" or "anglo". While the racial demographic description is accurate - no mention of majority gay residents is made.
I don't mean to sound homophobic at all - but for someone unaware and new to the LA area
this can be important info.

Also someone said something about TV studios. Its true! I always laugh when I see Cali or LA depicted on TV shows as white, middle class and english speaking. I laugh and wonder which California or LA is that? Its not reality that's for sure - LOL!

no, actually it is not. one only needs to be aware of one community that fits the description in order to answer the question, as asked, accurately.
