Is Santa Ana Finally Invading its Exclusive Floral Park Neighborhood?

• Having to have to label myself as Hispanic, I think the US, as a culture has a lot of growing to do. Actually, in regard to this topic, white American and Mexican American cultures alike need to grow up. Neither recognizes them as the problem and remains stubborn to their cause of not accepting change. Simply stated: - Mexican Americans need to acclimate to American cultures more. You wouldn't go into someone's house and tell them how to live. And yes this is the USA, not the USM. The few that are creating the problems represent you. Making all Mexican's dispicable to all ugly white americans. - White Americans need to understand that they are not the entitled and/or supreme race. Your views are so disgusting and apparent throughout the world; it is literally pathetic and shameful. Your disposition will change and is changing no matter how you feel or fight it; because you are wrong

• I agree with Gustavo that Floral Park residents should move, take their tax money to other cities, and let the neighborhood build block walls and iron fences like the rest of Santa Ana. Give up on the great community that invests in Santa Ana...

• Hey, Gustavo, the reason the soiled diaper wasn't picked up by whitey was because they hadn't had time to run down to the local 7-11 to hire a wab to do it. Give them credit: right now the are under the microscope to not hire or be seen in the same vicinity of wabs. They gotta keep a low profile. Once the economy picks up they wil be back to their usual hypocritial ways of hiring and turning the other cheek. Even Pulido is laying low even with his half-ass take on the Ariz law. Now go and pick up your own shit, gabacho.

• Dear "Sick": Allow me to retort. Regarding the diaper in question. It did not come from one of my fellow Beaners. As this diaper is clearly a named brand, Huggies Cruisers. If you really knew us, you would know that Beaners do not purchase fancy named brand diapers because we cannot afford the fancy pants, and our welfare food stamps only cover government block mystery cheese and milk. We use non brand, generic diapers or cloth ones, as you see we ARE very good at doing laundry. Other than that, your response was intelligent and well put. Bravo!

• Gustavo, I was born and raised in Santa Ana (en la Willits y Pacific) and it saddens me to see how deteriorated the city has become. My grandmother came to the use more than 50 years ago and when she would see the mess that Santa Ana became she would simply say "Mija when I came to this country I knew what my place was. We kept our yards clean and stayed out of trouble so people would not label us as pigs. That is what you should write about. Floral Park people should not be shamed for having nice homes with clean yards. We should applaud them.

• Ha, Gus,Gus,Gus you racist shithead! What is the fuss, GUS? Get with the seen, Bean! WE want a clean law abiding America, come here and be American and don't bring Mexico here. Remember why you came here in the first place? To get away from the shit! Now pick it up and don't shit it up! Again GUS, why don't you write about "how to" be a better citizen, than championing those diaper throwing, dumb asses. We call them "stains"

• Maybe it was street art from one of the artistas living in Floral Park? Pulido should have had it bronzed!

• More racist diatribe from the OC Weekly. And You wish you could live in that hood.

• Glenn: Just like the stereotyping Floral Park residents do to the rest of their city. What's good for the goose... Annoyedmexie: Huh? Just saying...: Because the Don Papi lives in the area and thus protects his wards from his invading masses! Solsonero: Oh, please�where are you when we write about Don Papi Pulido? That's right: NOWHERE. Spare us the sanctimony.

• Oh Gus, �Por que insistes en vivir la vida provocando un lugar donde obviamente no tienes por que andar? Is there not anything else to write about in Santa Ana? I am sure these residents of Floral Park paid the price to live where they do. Look, they cleaned up Minnie, and within 5 years it's back to what it was before. As far as the diaper goes, IT IS YOUR CIVIC DUTY TO PICK IT UP! I suggest you try and find more noteworthy things to write about my city. I, as a resident, do not condone you writing an article like this, but hey, we all have our off days, �O no? You down for la raza in Chuntana, them write about la raza, and not worthless info like this.

• Difficult? You mean like digging up Brownie's pedo-protecting in Boise? Why weren't you piping up for those posts? ===================================== Because I didn't see that one. LOL.

• Um I think it might be a dirty city epidemic, there's been a diaper in the bank parking lot since Friday. Btw, it's the closest bank to floral park...hmm. Lol cracks me up to see how many people get so worked up over a dirty diaper but yet don't comment on the stench the mayor gives off.

• It's no wonder why white folks aren't seen as much in the city of Santa Ana, "the raza" is invading, and they probably prefer to move and not be intertwined with the hispanics and their antics. See, I live in a nicer part of town, where it's still Santa Ana (unincorprated O.C.), where trash on the streets is rarely seen, and street loitterers aren't present. All in all, race doesn't matter to me, it's the fact that the city should be seen clean.

• Well, not everyone at Floral Park is that way...that's just simply stereotyping, which is starting to sound more like class envy. I definitely don't fall in that category, still trying to finish school, build a business and take care of a family, etc. However, I'm certain there are elitist anywhere one goes, Coto...Newport, etc. But there are also a lot of great, down to earth people that worked very hard to get where they are.

• Peckerwood: Hi! Luis: A day in the life for me... Glenn: It's newsworthy because Floral Park folks do believe themselves to be a step (or many) above the rest of SanTana. Nice to know they're not!

• I have a friend that lives on Flower that immigrated from England. They are appalled at witnessing Hispanics that drive through the neighborhood and throw their trash and diapers into the neighborhood yards, maybe as an act of defiance, class envy or both, whatever, who cares for the reason? The act itself is despicable. I guess the locals figured that in 5 days the street cleaner would get it, who knows. Or has the local city government failed in this area as well? Regardless, it's in the middle of the street, most people are right handed, maybe someone attempted a throw from the driver's window with their weak hand with little distance / success, falling into no-man's land. LOL I don't know why this is "news" worthy, poor redneck crackers have broken down cars and appliances in their yards as a badge of honor. Beaners and brothers have their vices...not sure about the Asians....massage parlors? :)

• wow...sickofyourracialshit thats very mature of you.

• No one has ever directed this much racist vitriol at me, Gustavo. I've always thought that it's probably because I'm protected by the academia bubble. I have no doubt about this after reading Stand Strong's comment: se dice poisOn not poisEn, pinche racista pendejo! Now pick up that fucking diaper.

• again spreading your crap gussti kardashian foul full of treason and bullshit. of course you didnt pick it up just like the bucket of used toilet paper next to your toilet.you have no respect for this land you and your kind and thats not a race card its your kind lazy useless suckers on our proud country that just keep spreading nothing but poisen someday your going to piss off the wrong vet,

• Sick: Considering that honest-to-goodness children of Klan members founded Floral Park, I actually believe your comment! Patchito: Who's Gus? New: Gracias for the kind words. I don't live in SanTana�Anacrime is my 'hood. And, yes: when someone leaves trash in my neighborhood, I clean it up. Why can't the "good people" of Floral Park do the same? Lived: How is this post racist? 20foot: Difficult? You mean like digging up Brownie's pedo-protecting in Boise? Why weren't you piping up for those posts? Suzie: Blame the messenger, of course�where's your animus toward, you know, the actual people that live in the neighborhood? Clamshot: I say you! Santanero: Gracias!

• your rants are gettin old mr. arelleno

• it should have said whats more full of shit the diaper or the idiot who wrote this post, race baiting diaper. and i'll be waiting for my wit-less response

• So you took the time to stop, take photos, and write this ridiculous post and didn't pick up the litter? Shame on you!

• Gustavo Arellano says: We're all about the difficult... ============================================ Gus: And this story is an example of that? Actually, I wish you would go after more difficult stories vs race-baiting. I like you Gus -- no, really I do, but the OCR has been getting the best of you lately.

• Only in the United States of America would you be able to get away with writing crap like this. Sounds to me like the person who is crying racism is in fact the racist himself.

• Gus, I've been in SA for just five years now and I really love the city. I get a kick out of your posts which are alternately provocative, hilarious, and informative. Here is a suggestion from the new guy in town. Stop and pick it up. You have no idea whose crap it is, and neither do I when I stop and pick it up. I went to Floral Park this spring for their home tour and was really impressed with the effort that those people put into their homes. I would be interested to know which SA neighborhood you live in. I live down in Wilshire Sq.

• While I don't condone the language used by sickofyourracialshit, I understand his point...and appreciate his use of sarcasm in addressing what is a characteristically sarcastic, smarmy and, ultimately, racist piece by Gus - La Raza - Arredondo (with an extra trill pronunciation on that double r). So white people want to live in S.A. (pronounced esSAY and written in Olde English script)? What's your problem with that? ....or the fact that they don't want to live in a dumpy neighborhood?

• The diaper was left by a beaner, we ritzy floral park white people don't touch beaner shit. I'm surprised you've never seen us in our white robes and pointed hats! If there was a KKK for mexies i"m sure you would've. And next time you're trying to go from Bristol to Broadway, take 17th, that's the street you beaners belong on!!
