And just for your edification, here's what California looked like back in the Bad Old Days:

All States Picnic, Ontario, California 1948

Kinda puts the lie to the "California was Mexico" BS, huh?

Best pic:

Doncha Hate it Crackpot?

Nice looking ladies.

But that is a photograph, if you look at the ethnic split of California in 1948:
California’s population in 1948 was around 9.7 million

The 1940 Census noted ~6.5% of Californians as “Mexican” or Spanish-speaking, but this undercounted the broader Latino population. By 1950, estimates suggest Hispanics neared 10–12% due to increased migration. Los Angeles and agricultural areas like the San Joaquin Valley had sizable Latino communities

European-Americans were 80% in 1948 due to early 20th-century migration from other U.S. states and European immigration. The 1940 Census reported about 89.5% of Californians as White (including some Hispanics), but by 1950, this dropped to ~86.5% as minority populations grew.

You didn’t answer the question

Many of those “white” kids would be children of reent immigrants, like Sergey Brins children.

Are the children of recent European or Russian immigrants more “white” to you than 3rd generation Hispanics who may be pale skinned like Anya Taylor Joy?

California prior to 1848 was Mexican.

But no one said it was Mexican after that.

What I did say was that many of the “white” kids bitprn today in California would be children of reent immigrants, like Sergey Brins children.

Are the children of recent European or Russian immigrants more “white” to you than 3rd generation Hispanics who may be pale skinned like Anya Taylor Joy?
