Apples and oranges. Decreasing percentage does not equate to leaving. The hispanic numbers have just gone up.
Everybody is fleeing California according to Thomas Sowell, at least the best of the whites and blacks are fleeing, while the welfare types are better off where they are.
“”The latest published data from the 2010 census show how people are moving from place to place within the United States. In general, people are voting with their feet against places where the liberal, welfare-state policies favored by the intelligentsia are most deeply entrenched.
When you break it down by race and ethnicity, it is all too painfully clear what is happening. Both whites and blacks are leaving California, the poster state for the liberal, welfare-state and nanny-state philosophy.””
“”Although California has long been a prime destination of Asian immigrants and the homes of their descendants, the 2010 census shows a striking increase in the Asian-American population of Nevada, more so than any other state. Nevada is adjacent to California but has no income tax nor the hostile climate for business California maintains.
The movement of the black population – especially educated young blacks – is the most striking of all.””
That being said, not all, but the big majority of those Hispanics are hard working people. I know quite a few BTW and I am intimately familiar with the So. CA region.
