[edit] Verification needed

There are several facts in the acticle that need verification.

  1. Westside Long Beach is a working class Long Beach neighborhood made up of mostly Latinos, Asians, and Blacks.
    • Census figures are needed. My guess is that Blacks and non-Latino Caucasians are probably about the same percentage for the Westside (But I could be wrong).
  2. The neighbor was once an affluent area populated mostly with Whites and Japenese.
    • The neighborhood might have been middle-class, pre-WW II, but I don't think that the neighborhood has ever been affluent. Area has always been working class - oil field and fishing industry predominately prior to WWII.
  3. Race riots at schools such as Cabrillo High School and Stephens Middle School occur frequently. incorrect.
    • Occasional possibly, but frequent?
