Neutrality tag edit

Hello, I added the neutrality tag more as a formality than anything. With an article this short, its hard to maintain a balanced perspective on recent political events/terms. Additionally I have changed "killed" to "allegedly killed" in the Piña case, as the accused has not been convicted. Xevus11 (talk) 01:02, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply


I don't think this article can be neutral without some discussion of the racism underlying this term. However we choose to frame that- and for such a divisive issue I'll leave it to more experienced editors- ignoring the fact that "Angel families" is essential a white supremacist propaganda phrase used to fearmonger is not a neutral decision. Undocumented immigrants are not more violent than other groups in the United States- in fact they're statistically less violent- and the spotlight shone on violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants is a political propaganda tool. The way this article is currently framed is like if the article on Blood Libel didn't make it clear that Blood Libel is an antisemitic myth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.49.100.7 (talk) 16:59, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

In the meantime, I'm removing the "examples" section. It's gratuitous and unnecessary. Wikipedia isn't a propaganda outlet. Those incidents are only notable because of how they've been used by racists to inspire hatred against latinos. Their inclusion, as currently framed, is not balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.49.100.7 (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

   This is supposed to be neutral encyclopedia, not a place to spout your personal political opinions. Let's not forget that illegal immigration itself is a crime, and if these perps were be kept out of the country like they should have, these other crimes wouldn't have happened in the first place.Bjoh249 (talk) 16:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is this deserving of a dedicated article? edit

Is this niche phrase really worthy of its own article? Rafe Goldberg (talk) 00:45, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
