Comments

Message 01/: I was born and raised in Anaheim and in school I always heard stories that it was once dubbed Klan-aheim due to the heavy KKK presence.

Still to this day there aren’t alot of black people but it’s racially and culturally mixed not with lots of Asians, Mexican and even a good amount of Middle Easterners.
