Talk:Baldwin Park, California

message: I didn't want to put this in the main article because of POV issues, but I should point out that Save Our State claims only one Hispanic member, a woman has publicly written to the Los Angeles Times that she is an original Californio of Spanish ancestry (i.e., not a Chicano).  This makes the group's denials of racist motives more than a little suspect, to say the least.  I myself happen to think that it's a bunch of white trash (and the fact that Turner grew up in a trailer park in northwestern Riverside County doesn't exactly help his credibility on that matter) who think that they're owed jobs because they're US citizens--and given my hometown, I have a pretty good working knowledge of such folks.--Slightlyslack 6 July 2005 07:58 (UTC)
Yes, I was at the anti-hate rally in Baldwin Park when the racist scumbags calling themselves "Minutemen" and "Save Our State" showed up -- all three times I was there joining the anti-racists.  The SOS/MM scumbags are real hate filled piles of shit by any measure.  In Baldwin Park they made sure they didn't haul out their Nazi and Confederate flags and pass out Nazi flyers like they did in Laguna Beach. I was born in Baldwin Park back when it was relatively safe, and I don't like hate filled Christian extremists coming to my home town and spewing their neo-Nazi idologies of hatred (no offense intended) -- FredricRice Fredric L. Rice
Slightlyslack loves to accuse people of racist motives, and then he utters the racial slur "white trash". He then links Joe Turner and SOS to "trailer parks".  Hypocritical, to say the least.  Posted by Tom Swedge.
Typical ignorance from a typically ignorant jackass....stuck on race.  Slightlyslack needs to get his brain out of 1950--anonymous
Slightlyslack, Californios were Mexican citizens.  People of Mexican descent in the USA are called Chicanos.  So why aren't Californio descendents living in the USA Chicanos, too?--Chamaca.cosmica 08:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Can someone please add the original Baldwin Park city seal and place it next to the current(and "ugly") one on the page...
The original seal was a old wagon wheel, where the upper side says "City of Baldwin Park", bottom edge says "California", and in the middle of the wheel, says "Hub of the San Gabriel Valley"...
If someone can find the image of the original seal, please add it to this page...thank you.Michaela92399 02:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BaldwinPark city seals, past and present... 

message: "racial makeup of the city was 40.18% White, 1.61% Black or African American, 1.45% Native American, 11.64% Asian, 0.15% Pacific Islander, 40.51% from other races, and 4.48% from two or more races. 78.67% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race."
How could 78% be Hispanic and 40% Anglosaxon? -- fredric L. Rice
Fredric: "White" doesn't mean "Anglo-Saxon." "Hispanic or Latino of any race" means that, on the census, Hispanics and Latinos can self-identify as being of any race (including white) or as mixed-race. In other words, "Hispanic or Latino" isn't a racial category, but one relating to national origin or culture.  Huntington (talk) 22:29, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strange demographics 

message: "The Milikan Dairy was on Frazier and the schools enjoyed bringing kids to see how their milk was processed from the cow to the bottle. It might sound dull by today's standard but you have to remember that in those days not everybody had a TV and then it was black and white with a nine inch screen." It doesn't sound dull to me. As a kid I would have enjoyed seeing how my food was produced. It can lead to a greater appreciation of it. The comment in question seems rather trite---Marc  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.150.5 (talk) 07:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Imaginative article on gangs. Unfortunately, it will have to be deleted for the following reasons: it is WP:POV. It contains references to people which violates WP:BLP. While the article does have other information, this subsection is out of the blue - it is WP:COATRACK. While we all think we know about "gangs," it has not been amply demonstrated that these organizations are significant enough to be here. Why are they here and not Haddassah, Ladies Aid Society, Knight of Columbus, etc. In short, organizations themselves are not notable. They must do something which is implied but not stated. Graffitti is not enough. None of the information has WP:FOOT from a WP:RELY source. Student7 (talk) 19:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
