But if someone is saying they don't like that in the near future, the majority of California will not be white, that's racism.

Also, racism and bigotry are equally bad.
Someone discussing the displacement of persons who were formally residents of a certain area or state and the impacts thereof IS NEITHER BIGOTED NOR RACIST.

I see. So you feel that the white people should be escorted out of Orange County, California, and replaced by the historical residents, the Native Americans?

It was all empty land in much of this area until 50 years ago, and where I am, 35 years ago. I wasn’t aware that natives had built housing tracts here.

In many areas of the country? No it's actually only really plummeting in parts of the west coast, specifically the Bay Area CSA. The Greater LA CSA actually gained Blacks. Heck even in an area where people assumed Blacks were leaving (Chicago) actually gained Blacks overall metro wide. California is really alone on this one.

Numbers are a little skewed because mixed race people who identify/look white are categorized as Hispanic/Asian instead of white. The majority of Californians are still white in appearance/identifying. Also, it is not racist to be concerned about demographic changes as some have claimed. If this was the case every non-white country in the world would be considered racist. Even the most far left Asian, African, middle eastern, countries have very restrictive immigration policies because they want to preserve their culture. The entire reason why we have borders in the first place is because people of different cultures, races, religions, beliefs, etc did not get along with one another. Even today in the most multicultural places on earth like NYC and LA they’ve all self segregated, Balkanized. It’s extremely hard to unify people of different backgrounds. It can only be done if the people immigrating here are willing to assimilate and join a larger American or Californian culture.

Not sure if your definition matches Merriam-Webster's definition:
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

That is, can a person prefer his country remain one race or one ethnicity without feeling superior?
Do countries that want to retain their ethnic balance necessarily do so out of feelings of superiority?
Do two same race parents who would prefer their kid marry same race have that preference out of superiority?
Many countries have or have had immigration requirements. The US Immigration Policy of 1790 stated all immigrants must be white and of good moral character. Israel, Mexico, Japan, Korea have or have had racial/ethnic preferences. And, it was pretty much like that until the 1965 Hart Celler Act was passed. Is this a bad, immoral, unethical, unnatural, evil, or unkind policy?

I would have not recognized California 100 years before I was born. I would not have recognized California 100 years after I die. What a coincidence.

We are not a Reich that will last 1000 years.
