Large numbers of blacks did not come to Southern California until the war. It was jobs that brought them. The area around the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles was still white until the end of the war.(about 35th street if I remember)

The laws against interacial marriage was statewide as were the restrictive covenant laws.

Yes, as I write before, race relations were not perfect in So Cal. I only took exception to the characterization of the area in your original post, which may have been true in parts of LA County, but were simply not accurate for Orange County.
