Ethnic diversity doesn't mean much in terms of the Californian flip. It either happened too late (mid-to-late 90s) or you are overestimating the effect. Exodus of white conservatives is another red herring as that happened even later, circa late 90s and early 00s. Neither of these demarcate the flip.
