    I’m white but I lived in Downey for several years and even worked in Montebello for a while. Reading these articles makes my blood boil.

    Even though I moved here from Iowa I’m not sure what it is about the rest of this country that doesn’t understand that in Los Angeles, no one gives a fuck whether you’re here legally or not.

    I know it won’t happen, but what this always makes me wonder is why we don’t leave the US. The rest of the country wants to shit on us constantly while we pay their taxes? Gtfoh

    Imagine someone being so racist they think you’re too Hispanic to live in Los Angeles.
