No, both numbers refer to non-Hispanic whites.

The Hispanic population of California was 13.7% in 1970. 19% in 1980, 39% in 2020:

And over 55% of students in CA public schools today:

The shift in demographics wasn't driven entirely by the increase in the Hispanic population, and in fact I didn’t mention Hispanic population at all. It also was in part driven by immigration from Asian countries.

Not sure why you’re calling me a liar.

I misread your comment. Sorry about that. I misread it because I think of a generation as twenty years and a lifetime as what you described. Sorry again.
Ah, you’re right. It says online that a generation is 20-30 years so I was actually looking over 2-3 generations. Thanks for the correction.
