My tests indicates different results. I started new game with 110% in happiness and pressed end turns. At turn 2400.5 the people became indifferent. 2% (natural decrease) - 0,2% (race bonus) = 1,8% round down = 1%. Five turns elapsed so 25% + 5* 1% = 30% -> indifferent.

I noticed that people become indifferent even if you have 150% in happiness, but then at next turn they became happy, then indifferent, then happy etc. That happens because when the people are indifferent there is no natural decrease so what is left is -1% by race bonus.
