Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Why is California So Diverse

Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Why is California So Diverse? It’s not because California has been particularly welcoming. It’s because California is an economic magnet. Successive waves of economic boom which attracted immigrant labor, followed by a bust that resulted in a political backlash.

Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Why is California So Diverse? 200,000 Chinese immigrants after the Gold Rush made this group 10% of California’s population. 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act stopped immigration and led to deportation. 300,000 “Okies” fled dustbowl for California’s farm fields in Depression. Glut of workers led to discrimination.

Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Why is California So Diverse? “Great Migration” of blacks from rural South to WWII factories led to a 400% increase in CA’s black population. Housing laws allowed discrimination and segregation. 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act ended national origin quotas and opened the door to Latin American and Asian immigration.

Diverse Society, Diverse Politics Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Does diversity add up to diverse politics?

Diverse Society, Diverse Politics Diverse Society, Diverse Politics? Does diversity add up to diverse politics? In 1990, Latinos were 26% of California’s population, 15% of eligible voters, 10% of registered voters, but just 6% of actual voters in June primary. (Citrin & Campbell, p. 287) Latinos and Asian-Pacific Islanders have been considered the “sleeping giants” of California politics.

One Sleeping Giant Wakes Up

Barriers to Minority Participation What stops residents in the population from being eligible voters? Some are not old enough (18) to vote. Latino and API populations are younger than African-American and white populations. Some have felony convictions, which disfranchises you in California. Conviction rates vary by ethnic group.

Barriers to Minority Participation What stops residents in the population from being eligible voters? Many Latinos and API- Americans are not citizens

Barriers to Minority Participation What stops eligible voters from becoming registered and turning out to vote? Political socialization Language barriers Dual citizenship Education and income levels

Discussion Questions Is it inevitable that the barriers to minority political participation will be overcome, that every sleeping giant will wake up?
