If you think California is crowded now, just wait until 2050.
The Department of Finance predicted Monday that California will have 59.5 million residents when the state reaches the mid-century mark — nearly 22 million more than today.
Hispanics will make up 52 percent of the population in 2050, up from 36 percent currently. Whites, now 43 percent of the population, will drop to 26 percent, while Asians' share will grow by one percentage point to 13 percent and blacks will decline from 6 percent to 5 percent, according to the department's forecast.
Hispanics are projected to become a majority of the population by 2042.
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, D-Los Angeles, said the report demonstrated the state's need to improve school performance by Hispanics, build housing close to jobs, increase efforts to protect the environment and end the "politics of division."
"If we don't work now to end immigrant bashing and the politics of division, we will allow wedges to form that can pull apart a society whose sheer size along will require enormous tolerance and cooperation to function," he said in a written statement.
The report is updated every three to five years by the department's demographics unit. The most recent previous report was issued in 2004.
Here are some other conclusions in the report released Monday:
_ Los Angeles, with 13 million residents, will remain the state's most heavily populated county, but Riverside will overtake Orange and San Diego counties and become the second most heavily populated, with 4.7 million people.
_ Five Central Valley counties — Sutter, Yuba, Madera, Kern and San Joaquin — will have the biggest percentage increases in population in the first half of the century. Sutter's population will grow more than 200 percent from its current level, to 282,894.
_ Trinity County will have the highest percentage of whites in 2050 — nearly 90 percent. Imperial County will have the biggest percentage of Hispanics — 85 percent. Alameda County will have the biggest concentration of Asians — 33 percent. And the biggest percentage of blacks will be found in San Bernardino County — 13 percent.
Jesus. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again - probably till the day I die - but I'm simply amazed at how overpopulation has simply ceased to be an issue. The writers of this are saying all of this like this is a good thing. And that fucking dickwad Fabian Nunez - can you fucking believe that motherfucker? "Surrender now, Whitey!" Fucking asshole!
I find some of these numbers to be hilarious! First off I think that the 60 million total figure is probably about right. But I think it will probably be about 70% Hispanic, 15% Asian and Arab, 10% White, and 5% Black.
The sheer numbers of non-Hispanics who flee California's coming third-world nightmare will be more than made up for by soaring birthrates, completely uncontrolled immigration and an illegal alien problem that will only grow worse and worse. The only answer to California's (and possibly the nation's) problems at this point would be a quasi-Socialist state - much like Aincient Rome right before the end. And then would come, of course, the end.
So, there you have it. 35 years. if you haven't been writing your Congressional Representatives yet you had better get a fucking move on!
