Will this type of move inevitably trickle down to the best public CS undergrad programs? Berkeley and UCLA CS are almost entirely Asian (east and south) with a sprinkling of mostly Jewish Americans who fill the "white" category. That reflects in part California's demographics but even less heavy Asian American places like UT Austin, UW Seattle, and UIUC are 50%+ Asian in undergrad CS.

A good bet is "yes." If not this year, then next. See also Proposition 16 (https://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/16/index.htm).
It's worth noting that polling suggests Prop 16 is quite unpopular (https://edsource.org/2020/california-ballot-measure-to-lift-...), despite its strong showing in the legislature.
