I don't think the whites are leaving Irvine as much as all the new construction is being gobbled up by asians, thus increasing the asian percentage compared to whites.
Most Irvine schools I believe are ~50% asian. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the new schools serving the new communities will be 90%.
I do think there is some cashing out involved and then moving to retirement areas like South County or the beach communities.abosch00 said:I don't think the whites are leaving Irvine as much as all the new construction is being gobbled up by asians, thus increasing the asian percentage compared to whites.
This is probably true, although older schools are probably more like 70% non-Asian.Most Irvine schools I believe are ~50% asian. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the new schools serving the new communities will be 90%.

I took informal count of student last names my kids class in one of the newer schools. The numbers are:
Asian last names: 20
Indian last names: 7
Caucasian last name: 1
Hispanic last name: 1
Other classes would be in more or less same boat.

I don't mind Asians but Mainlanders are bad news. Where ever they went they left a trail of destruction. Its just a matter of time. We have plenty of examples across the world. I have yet not seen a single success.
