Talk:Ukiah, California

Demographics
"The racial makeup of the city is 79.53% White, 0.96% African American, 3.79% Native American, 1.68% Asian, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 9.67% from other races, and 4.27% from two or more races. 19.31% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race."

Why are Caucasians the only race that merits a color instead of a nationality? Just a thought. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DryGrain (talk • contribs).


 * Because white is the only one the political correctness people didn't bother to mess with. --Tjstrf 04:25, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * It's an interesting question, really. To me, it also raises the question, what would be a better term for white people? And don't say caucasian. That's a total BS term. I've never been to the Caucasus. It's about as silly a term as "Indian" is for Native Americans. No offense intended to anyone here, I'm just curious what would be better.&mdash;Daniel Pritchard 04:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Why not European American? Nearly all white people originate in Europe, similar to how blacks originated in Africa. Zachorious 00:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I like that idea - European American instead of White or Caucasian. It fits in better with the Native American, African American, Mexican American.  Everyone else is associated with a nationality and we are only Whites.  What kind of nationality is that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.12.138.161 (talk) 16:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Could someone please indicate the pronunciation of "Ukiah"? It doesn't have to be in the International Phonetic Alphabet, but some rough indication would be useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.88.181.170 (talk) 15:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

I live near Ukiah, somewhat, and it is pronounced yūkī'ə. If you're not into that whole pronunciation key thing, it's similar to You-Kai-Uh. 4.246.159.97 07:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Government Section
I was curious for some extra input on this section. Do we need to have it? Generally, more information is better but not many of the other city articles have a "Government" section to them. Any thoughts? Monkeyshines78 (talk) 18:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Two Facts Sections
We basically have two facts areas - one for Arts and Culture, and the other for "Facts." Both list one baseball-related item. If Arts and Culture can't be expanded beyond just a list, I think we should merge the two. Maruchan (talk) 18:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Is that the best we've got?
Is the momentary presence of Leonard Lake really noteworthy, let alone something the town wants in its Wiki 15 minutes? I grew up in Ukiah in the 1980's and surely never heard the name, and while it may be true that he was there... I'm sure we can think of plenty of others who've stopped through for a moment. Famous people have been stopping at the Burger King at the Perkins 101 exit for decades... UHS1993 (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Jim Jones
Shouldn't Jim Jones be added to the list of noteworthy people? He was established there at one point. BenW (talk) 09:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * He was off the beaten path a little more, in Redwood Valley. Binksternet (talk) 15:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Exports
Per my cousin, a long-time Ukiah resident, there is a third major export, which until recently was illegal, even though dominant: cannabis. My cousin told me that these 3 export industries are the dominant employer groups in the region. (My cousin had worked in both of the other 2.) Acwilson9 (talk) 02:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
