Having children in California is “becoming a white privilege,” an opinion piece in the San Francisco Chronicle argued.

“Our data indicates that the very act of starting a family is becoming a white privilege here in California. The first batches of 2020 census data affirm this, with California reporting its slowest population increase since 1900 — growth that has historically been led by households of color,” the op-ed stated, basing its findings on research from Oakland’s Insight Center and the Center for Women’s Welfare at the University of Washington.
