"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.—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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
