[Dilbert San Diego]

Sometimes “optics” are ironic.

California today has so many foreign born and 1st generation immigrants, and so many immigrants who are non-white, and we are talking about the legacy of black slaves held by whites. Reparations will eventually include taxes to be paid by people who had nothing to do with black slavery.

And as noted, California was not a slave state.

California’s hispanic population is about to learn that their ancestors were partially Spanish and therefore they are evil people who owe reparations.

Grab the popcorn....

[Wallace T.]

As of 2020, black Californians are 5.8% of the population or 2.3 million. The numbers are almost unchanged since 2010. White flight from California started after 1990. In that year. non-Hispanic whites were 57.2% of the population. By 2020, the number declined to 37.8%. (2020 numbers are estimates.) Both black and white numbers are boosted by immigrants. Keep in mind Middle Easterners and North African are classified as white by the Census Bureau. Native born whites of European descent in California are probably well under the 37.8% figure.

A state where native born European Americans are maybe one third of the population at best are being asked to pay reparations for slavery, where the last person born to slavery died decades ago. Americans of Italian, Jewish, Polish and other backgrounds whose ancestors came to America decades after Appomattox are under this judgment. So are the descendants of Union soldiers.

Absurdity!
