[edit] Ethnic backgrounds
If you're going to remove the word white in front of the word ethnic, then logic follows that you should take out the mentions of Irish, Italian or Jewish heritage. The word ethnic on its own gives an innacurate picture, since that term applies to all sorts of groups, including non-white groups. As far as I know, there wasn't any notable presence of Pakistani, Chinese or Indian greasers in 1950s/60s USA. I'm not sure what's so controversial about pointing out that fact.

[edit] Picture?
No picture of greasers in stock? Or are they all extinct? - Redmess 21:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
The alternate name in Estonian is definitely not "Lõngus"!
"Lõngus" is something else... just a boney loser or something like that...
[edit] Mannerisms section
I have deleted the mannerisms section because it was all uncited opinion (aka original research) and false claims. It included the names of two random non-notable people and some nonsense about them starting a trend of eating honey-roasted peanuts and "beating up sqares". Those two names were inserted into a few Wikipedia articles as some kind of joke.Spylab 13:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 1959 C addy?
Why would I want to drive my Grandma's car? It seems to me a Greaser is more into Hot Rods! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.156.93.42 (talk) 07:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Greaser because of their hair?
I thought greasers got there name because they were always working on their cars and covered in grease. People had been using pomade in their hair long before the 1950's. The street gangs came later! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.156.93.42 (talk) 08:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
