-----------------
Let’s break this down carefully — because **“whites” as a majority”** depends on **historical population data** and whether we’re talking **California state (CA)** or **Los Angeles County (LA)**.
---
## 1️⃣ California State
### Historical context
* 1848: California becomes U.S. territory → **mostly Native Americans and some Mexican/Californio population**. * 1850: **California statehood**, Gold Rush brings huge influx of white settlers from the U.S. and Europe.
### Population numbers (approx.)
| Year | Total Pop | White Pop % | Notes | | ---- | --------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | | 1850 | 92,597 | ~70–75% | Gold Rush brought mostly white settlers | | 1900 | 1.5M | ~90% | Minorities: Mexican, Chinese, Native American | | 1950 | 10M | ~89% | “White” includes European-descended | | 1970 | 19.9M | ~76% | Hispanic/Latino population rising | | 1980 | 23.7M | 67% | Non-Hispanic white begins to dip below 70% | | 1990 | 29.8M | 57% | Trend accelerating | | 2000 | 33.9M | 57% | Still majority, but shrinking | | 2010 | 37.3M | 40% | White non-Hispanic <50%, no longer majority |
✅ **Conclusion for California state:**
* Whites were a majority roughly **1850 → 2010** (~**160 years**) * After 2010, non-Hispanic whites are **no longer the majority**.
---
## 2️⃣ Los Angeles County
### Historical context
* 1850: LA County population ~3,500, mostly Mexican/Native, some whites * White population grows slowly until **early 20th century**
| Year | Total Pop | White Pop % | Notes | | ---- | --------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------- | | 1850 | 3,530 | ~40%? | Native + Mexican majority | | 1880 | 11,200 | ~60% | European-descended settlers growing | | 1900 | 102,000 | ~70% | Major growth from white migration | | 1950 | 4.0M | ~88% | Post-WWII boom, white majority | | 1970 | 5.4M | ~70% | Latino and Black populations rising | | 1980 | 6.9M | ~57% | White non-Hispanic shrinking | | 1990 | 8.9M | 48–50% | White non-Hispanic falls below majority | | 2000 | 9.5M | 45% | Whites no longer majority | | 2010 | 9.8M | 28–30% | Minority-majority county |
✅ **Conclusion for LA County:**
* Whites became majority sometime **1880–1890**, stayed majority **until ~1990** (~**110 years**) * Before 1880, whites were a minority * After 1990, minorities are the majority

### ⚡ Summary
| Area | White Majority Period | Approx Years | | ---------------------- | --------------------- | ------------ | | **California State** | 1850 → 2010 | ~160 years | | **Los Angeles County** | 1880 → 1990 | ~110 years |

If you want, I can also **show a decade-by-decade chart** for both CA and LA County with **% white population**, which makes the trend very visual.
Do you want me to do that?
