Del Amo Fashion Center

My trip to the LA metro last weekend involved visiting various malls. Despite the hype of dying malls, Southern California still has a thriving mall culture. Del Amo Mall in Torrance is super diverse with Whites, Latinos, Asians, and Blacks, all well represented. Del Amo is one of the largest malls in California and attracts visitors from all over the South Bay region and beyond. In contrast with the trend of enclavism in California that I discuss, I noticed many multiracial friend groups and interracial couples, varying from White males with Asian females and Latinas to Latino males with White females to Black males with Latinas and Asian females.
Del Amo Mall is broadly middle class coded, though there is a class convergence from upper middle class to a more ghetto clientele. Del Amo Mall instated a curfew requiring all minors to have adult supervision, in response to Black teenagers rioting, and I noticed a police presence. Upper middle to upper class Whites are generally not interested in indoor malls, and malls in California are very POC coded. The exception is outdoor upscale malls, such as those built by Rick Caruso.
Torrance is emerging as a pan-Asian enclave with an old Japanese community, Koreans who moved in in the 90s in response to the LA riots, some Chinese and Taiwanese, and more recently Indians and Pakistanis. There are also a lot of middle class Hispanics. Torrance is 35.3% White, 35.26% Asian, and 19.09% Hispanic. Torrance used to be much more White, with the White population declining from 52.36% in 2000 to 35.3% today.
Promenade on the Peninsula

I visited another mall nearby, the Promenade on the Peninsula in Rolling Hills Estates/Palos Verdes, which is much smaller and more upscale than Del Amo. In contrast with Del Amo, which was packed with crowds, the Promenade on the Peninsula was deserted. Keep in mind this was a Friday late afternoon. It could just be that that particular mall is dying out. While Palos Verdes is one of the most affluent communities in California, my impression is that the White population is very geriatric, with a big decline in family formation, and has also attracted a lot more wealthy Asians. Palos Verdes is literally sinking into the Sea, which I guess is symbolic.
South Bay White Population Change (2010-2020)

While the South Bay was traditionally a White Flight suburb, there was a big decline in the White population, starting with the decline in the aerospace industry at the end of the Cold War. Recently the South Bay has emerged as Silicon Beach, which is attracting more Asians. Torrance and the South Bay generally have good schools and are desirable places to live, which shows the diversity of upward mobility in California.
My observation is that Torrance and Palos Verdes have experienced the biggest White decline while Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach are still very White. Manhattan Beach, which has traditionally been an upper middle class Anglo community has recently attracted a lot of affluent Jewish transplants from the Westside of LA, and overall a lot of new money from all over, due to becoming famous from reality TV shows like Selling Sunset.
Promenade at Westlake

I also visited the Rick Caruso built Promenade at Westlake, on the border of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, an area known as the Conejo Valley. The South Bay and the Conejo Valley are the LA Metro’s two main upper middle to upper class suburbs. In contrast with the South Bay, including very wealthy Palos Verdes, the White demographic seems to be thriving. I noticed tons of White families and White teens at the mall. However, the census shows the region still experienced a White decline, albeit much less severe than other parts of SoCal.
Conejo Valley White Population Change (2010-2020)

The Conejo Valley became popular in the 1980s as a White Flight suburb in response to school bussing and demographic change in the San Fernando Valley. Today it attracts affluent people from all over SoCal. It has a reputation for being very nouveau riche and status-conscious but also very family-oriented. Part of what makes the Conejo Valley desirable to the affluent is how geographically isolated it is from all the problems of LA but within distance to commute.

The Conejo Valley is broadly Caucasian, including Anglos, Jews, and Persians, as well as some Asians. Of the Conejo Valley cities, Calabasas and Agoura Hills are more Jewish, while Thousand Oaks and Newbery Park are more Waspy, with Westlake Village probably somewhere in between. The area has one of the highest concentrations of attractive young women in SoCal. In particular, I noticed a lot of stunningly attractive blonde half-Jewish women. There is an ethnogenesis between Anglos and Ashkenazi Jews while Persian Jews don’t mix much.
One reason this area has stayed very White is that it hasn’t attracted tons of Asians like other upper middle class California suburbs, like the South Bay and Orange County. A Princeton Economics study found that when Asian enrollment increases in upper middle class suburbs, the White population declines. Another reason the White demographic could be stronger is that there are a lot more Jews, and Jews tend to stay in areas that have strong Jewish communities, while Anglos are more likely to relocate. However, I also noticed lots of blonde Waspy looking families and Zoomers with crucifixes.
In my earlier articles, I tried too hard to push an agenda of enclavism for California rather than just analyze demographics. The future I envision for California is both enclavism emerging but also places that are more diverse and integrated. The main distinction is by class, with White enclavism emerging from class based “segregation” while I expect California’s middle class to become more racially blended. Also, I expect different ethnogenesis to form based on specific geographic locations. For instance, I foresee Hapa/Eurasian enclaves, Castizo (White and Latino) enclaves, Asian/Latino enclaves, or California’s middle class becoming a broader ethnogenesis of White, Asian, and Latino.

The only true enclaves left in California are Marin County, Carmel by the Sea-Pebble Beach and Santa Barbara. And to a smaller extent, Santa Cruz. They are cut off from metro areas (Marin by two bridges) but still have enough going on to appeal to people who want a range of amenities and things to do.
All have great natural beauty. And all are expensive. According to Google, the average price of a single-family home in Marin County is $1,454,638. This is remarkable for an entire county. In Belvedere, arguably the most expensive community, an above average home costs about $7,000,000 (the same would be true of the gated Seadrift Beach enclave of second homes adjacent to Stinson Beach).
According to Zillow, the average price of a single-family home in Carmel by the Sea is $2,203,619. According to Google, the median price of a single-family home in Pebble Beach is $2,900,000.
According to Zillow, the average price of a single-family home in Santa Barbara is $1,779,534. The two most expensive neighborhoods are Montecito (median price $6.5 million according to Redfin) and Hope Ranch (median price $4.8 million according to realtor.com).
In Santa Cruz, where the housing stock is of relatively low quality, the average price of a single-family home is $1,335,144 according to Zillow. The nearby gated beach enclave in Aptos has homes of higher quality probably costing $5 million and above.
The percentage of whites and the average age of people living in these communities are as follows:
Marin County: 69.7%. 47.4 years old.
Belvedere: 89.6%. 50.3 years old (median).
Carmel by the Sea: 89%. 65 years old (median).
Santa Barbara: 53%. Google only provides the average age for the county (39 years old), not the city.
Santa Cruz: 67.7%. 29.5 years old (because of the University of California campus). Note that the campus population is much less white (37%) than the town’s population.
California as a whole: 34%.
Racial demographics are only given for states, cities, counties and college campuses, not neighborhoods (unless you go through the census blocks, but I’m not interested in doing that). Jews and Hispanics may call themselves white. I’m not bothering to sort that out either. The figure given for California as a whole is “non-Hispanic whites”. In all of these places, nonwhites tend to be Asian or Hispanic. There are very few blacks.
Thanks Bob, you saved me a trip to CA and thusly a wad of dollars.
The only things I want to see in CA are the redwoods and sequoias.
When SHTF, just bugout to your local Mall, just make sure it’s the correct one.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the presumed middle class are up to their eyeballs in debt, I don’t think those showboating at Malls are a good measuring tool for gaging the actual demographic reality. Alas it’s good to know that there are still a few of those beautiful “California Girls” floating about.
I’d throw Coronado into that list, although it may not be big enough to be counted. Damn nice place though.

I left ten years ago but remember Coronado and La Jolla in the San Diego area as solid white, as well as Redding in the far north part of the state.
What a misguided article as usual from this author. Listen goyim, if you want to stay white, let Jews form strong Jewish enclaves, they are very very white. Their fake blonde daughters with nose jobs are very white. We are more white than you! ( Bullshit )
Notice the woke vocabulary constantly used throughout this article : diverse, integrated…
And the glee when this ” friend ” describes the race mixing at the beginning of this article and how middle class whites are swamped by Asians,latinos and blacks.
What a tool.
What was the point of this silly article? Enclavism? What?
Jews are not “White” and most “Persians” in LA are Jews too.
L.A. was a multiracial cesspool already 20 years ago, I don’t even want to imagine now.
I know old boomer gringos from LA who moved to Mexico after retiring because they find Mexico is less diverse and more peaceful than LA. Lol.
All those “HBD” authors are useless! They are a waste of time. This guy walks through malls, and meanwhile iSteve is talking about baseball and a Broadway musical.
There`s an interesting comment on the article on Robert Stark’s Substack:
It’s the USA developing on the old European feudal model. Only now with a new Jewish aristocracy employing professional Anglo agents.
The remaining multicultural 95% of the USA are heading towards the modern equivalent of Southern Europe’s poverty stricken landless labourers/ tennant farmers inexorably being screwed, taxed and harassed into a life of subsistence.
A happier result would be for the existing Latino/Asian/Anglo middle class to take back the USA (it doesn’t matter how) – then introduce a true Democracy. Maybe then (unlikely) they would create a new Anglo/Latino/Asian race the same as the Celts/Welsh/Angles/Saxons/Danes/Normans became the British (after 2000 years).
The copium denmothers for disaffected white guys skewed 40+ have run out of relevant topics to avoid noticing Palestine and (lately) Ukraine.
No threat whatsoever to the Establishment.
De-naturalization for the post-1965 Amnesty and Third World masses (and their progeny) would be the only way to restore the demographics we had before the Jewish death blow to the nation.
Unfortunately impossible short of a military coup, or, my hope – the breakup of the US into a few sovereign republics, as predicted by the parallels to the late-stage USSR that have emerged over the last decade; widespread dissatisfaction with regime management, falling real income, stagflation, unsustainable debt burdens as a result of profligate power projection and hegemony maintenance and expansion, along with a significant increase in Balkanization in areas far away from the national power center.
California would be quite the prize for any new republic to capture, boasting tech centers, stunning natural beauty and varied topography, plus a thousand miles of coastal access to the Pacific and several major ports and naval bases.
I can see a future where a hot “Battle of California” is fought to establish control over the booty and bounty. Absent the interventions of a federal government at full military strength (which doesn’t exist even right now), its very unlikely that CA would be able to fend off a consortium of a few neighboring states, which could wage an assault of occupation and conquest on the basis of the ethnic reunification of Real Americans (white European-descended peoples) as their birthright, having been the people who first established the geopolitical entity of “The State of California” despite its prior iterations under Spanish, and briefly Mexican rule.
Much in the same way that Russian’s military objectives in the Crimea and the Donbas were designed to ensure that large ethnic Russian populations were not subjected to continued oppression under hostile and abusive non-Russian majorities.
I think the “Battle of California” or maybe “Battle for California” would carry even more legitimacy since literally all of the greatness of CA, in every industry and showcase, is due to the genius, innovation, and hard work of whites.
Whether Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Disneyland, the state public university system, or the aviation and aerospace industries, whites created all that are both tourist attractions and engines of economic growth.
And every inch of infrastructure that made possible the settlement and population of the territory, from the Pony Express to the California and Oregon Trails, to the Transcontinental Railroad, the Interstate Highway System, and the California Water Project that drove the urbanization of “the Southland”, the Los Angeles desert basin, was and remains the “work product” of white people.
Despite hysterical claim by the Marxist left to the contrary, no people has a more legitimate claim as the “rightful possessors” of California than whites. The much-celebrated American Indians did literally nothing ever, at all, to improve or settle the region. And the masses of Mexican and LATAM agricultural workers have provided nothing but raw labor, much like the Negro population before the War of Northern Aggression.
