That's what Los Angeles looked like before becoming part of the United States

Utter nonsense. The colonia Los Angeles had a few hundred people, nothing more. They were vastly outnumbered by the Indians in the area who they enslaved, killed or merely dispossessed.

As this little anti-American gloatfest admits, L.A. was less then 10% "latino" - Mexican - in 1960. And that was the high point: L.A. was overwhelmingly White Anglo-Saxon since the 1850's - Mexico never had control of California, that's why the U.S. took it with a tiny number of casualties.

California was built by the Americans. Mexico, a parasite culture and failed society, merely walked in and feed off of what was built, and exploit guilt about "racism" spread by anti-American like the SPLC.

Correct. The entire area seceded to the United States after the U.S. Mexican War (Texas to California and states in between) contained, at most, 75,000 Mexican nationals. There were several multiples of Indians tribes that couldn’t be controlled by Mexico therefore it was only a matter of time before they lost everything North. Mexico was still infighting over control of the country after they kicked the Spanish out; they never stopped squabbling while the Europeans continued their trek across the West to the coast of California. When you lose control (or never really had control) of your borders, anything can happen. Sound familiar? Whenever I get into an argument with a Mexican about the loss of the Southwest to the U.S., I ask them sincerely, ok, well you lost it, and what would’ve been the difference if you held onto it? Mexico would’ve still been a mess politically and economically and nothing seriously would’ve changed, would it? They think about it but can’t give me a good answer, because it is more a cultural issue than a land issue, always is, always will be, and admitting to the truth hurts. Sorry, facts is facts.

It was ever thus.

Its true I was raised in L.A. in the 50/60/70's... Depending on "where" 10% to 20% mexican was the rule.. A few places had less than that but they were not large places...

Most were also very good people too.. East L.A. had most of the mexican dreg's.. Even the beaners didnt like the nasties.. I had many good mexican friends.. at least mexican-american.. They wanted to be or become americans not remain Mexicans.. They KNEW mexico was and still is a toilet.. even tho they liked the mexican "'culture"..
