Haha, I remember when my parents mentioned what it was like when they first moved to South Orange County like 20 years ago. They walked into a Ralphs and every person in there was staring at them because they weren't white. Nonetheless, the whiteness of South Orange County is something that I missed and felt was terribly lacking when other immigrants started to flood central Orange Country (like Irvine, Tustin, Westminster, etc.)
Like someone mentioned earlier, South and Central Orange County are very quiet communities great for raising children or retiring. There are plenty of large companies, like most major banks, some tech companies, and all of the accounting Big 4 (PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and Ernst and Young), but those are mainly for experienced professionals focusing solely on chilling out servicing older people. For young people looking to build their careers,, they'd be better off moving to LA, SF, or NY.
Also Orange County is rather conservative and is one of the few bastions of conservatism within Southern California, though recent gerrymandering tried to break up the county's two electoral districts into a of couple smaller ones that Democrats tried (and failed) to convert piecemeal.
It's no surprise it's conservative, OC houses one of the richest communities in the entire nation. *cough* NEWPORT *cough*
Hell celebrities own houses around here, a famous actress use to live in the house above my own. Rich people tend to be conservative because they want to hold on to what they earn.
