So sorry for my mistake. I always wondered that and never asked. Funny thing is that I live in Oxnard and should know better.

In the future of California people will be more mixed but there will be a distinct hierarchy like there is in Latin America. Upper Class will be a mix of White, Jewish, and Asian. Middle class White, Meztizo Hispanics, and Asian. Underclass will still be Blacks and Indian Hispanics.

Can you explain more in detail? It seems to me that in your prediction, the lower the class, the darker the skin.

If someone calls you guerito (meaning light skin or blonde) or prieto/moreno (meaning dark skinned), which usually describe skin tone, it does not mean they see you as a separate entity the way that Americans use White and Black. Not to say that there isn't prejudice in Mexico, but race isn't viewed through the American lens of solid categories, as much as it is more of spectrum.
I don't think a lot of people understand that Mexicans use the term "Mexican" to mean much more than a nationality. It has a deeper meaning like their culture etc. They use the term almost like an ethnic group although the US doesn't consider it one although perhaps it should as Hispanic is a sloppy catch-all.

Asian pairing from most to least common, from what I've observed.

Asian Female + White Male
Asian Female + Hispanic Male
Asian Male + White Female
Asian Female + Black Male
Asian Male + Hispanic Female

The correlation couldn't be more obvious.

Collectively, I've lived in Long Beach for about three years, and one thing I've noticed about this area along with the neighboring South Bay more so than any other area I've lived (RI, South FL, Atlanta, DFW, Phoenix) is a greater prevalence of white male / black female couples. Elsewhere I've lived, black male / white female couples were far more common.

Speaking of interracial couples, I'd like to know if anyone has information on Labradoodles in California.

Most common that I've noticed (I don't really care) is white man/asian woman. Only seen 1 white man with a black woman. Never seen an Asian with a Hispanic. Recently have started noticing black males with Hispanic females and white females. Most common however is probably Middle Eastern and Euro Whites (two different races, imo).
