A raid in Montebello, Calif., has stirred fears that federal agents are detaining and racially profiling U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent.

    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

        No, as a native American, i can confirm you all suck and should leave.

        Edit for clarification: I mean all settlers and their descendants. If you aren’t first nation, you’re in the wrong nation.

          You… You want to set some more realistic goals? Estimates put the Native American population at around 10m or around 3% of the US population. Relocating 290m people isn’t going to happen.
