Talk:Montbello, Denver, Colorado

The content added to this article by Watkinsian makes unfounded racist assertions and libels this community. --Buaidh 20:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The content referred to above has resided at Montbello, Denver for the past year; I was only intending to consolidate the existing article with the new, superfluous article created by Buaidh. The only statement that refers to race is the one that says the neighborhood has a disproportionately high percentage of certain minority groups. This is a fact, not a "racist assertion".

 * Buaidh is correct. Associating Montbello with "local Denver street gangs" because of its "high minority population" is extremely offensive. No references have been cited to prove that, and just about everything in the article is unfounded and only speculation. Being from Montbello, I can safely say that the article Watkinsian was posting is amazingly ignorant. It only serves to belittle the people of Montbello.--Invaderblake 19:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I submit demographic data. Crime rates are, about par with the rest of the county of Denver. I personally am aware of worse neighbourhoods in the Denver area, and even some parts of Aurora see the intro of this article. However, the general perception of Montbello is a negative one, something worth mentioning in the article. I'm not sure how to cite sources on here, so I hope someone helps out my edit.


 * Without citations the statement can't be there. I've removed it and am removing the NPOV tag since there hasn't been a response for many months. MrVibrating (talk) 02:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
