I am always skeptical of these type of prediction. What the heck does "on track" means? There are always unforeseen things in future that throws it off track. I highly doubt it will turn out exactly like the article predicted.

True - but these pieces are really just using future predictors to complain about today.

But today, SF is not that White. So, what exactly are they complaining?

It's another thinly veiled attack on the tech boom.

Well as the races continue to mingle I think thats gonna be a little hard to calculate. So if Obama lived in SF would he count as 50/50?

I call BS on this.

SF's non-Hispanic white population has dropped nonstop for well over half a century, from 90% in 1940, to 42% in 2010. At the same time, the Asian and Latino populations grew nonstop. Yet for some reason it's supposed to be the whitest county in the bay area in 30 years?

I dunno about that...and why are they even trying to project things 30 years out? Seems kinda dumb to me.

People were claiming the same crap before the 2010 census. Yet the numbers proved it was wrong, and the city was not extra white compared to 2000 or 1990. It was actually slightly less white. Looks like the same prediction all over again, which is basically people freaking out over gentrification and where it might lead. Maybe they'll be right this time...maybe not.

Excerpt from the article:

Quote:
"San Francisco is projected to decline in demographic diversity by 2040, making it the only Bay Area county on track to actually grow whiter over time. Yet on the whole, the wider Bay Area's circumstances aren't so bleak"
Bias much there, Lamar Anderson?

So, an area where a white population grows = "bleak"?

"bleak" = bad.

I wonder if Lamar Anderson thinks the growing black populations in Antioch, Fairfield and Stockton are "bleak" too?

Lamar probably doesn't, but lots of longtime locals in those places sure do!
