What is Downey?
1.
Downey, most commonly referred to as D-town is home to the snobbiest, racist, conservative people on the face of the planet. It's where the phrase "where the high class meets the ghetto ass" is literal. Downey is surrounded by some of the trashiest ghettoest cities in Los Angeles, ie.: South Gate, Bell Gardens, Paramount and Pico Rivera. Downey is in itself two cities, north and south. North Downey is considered to be north of Firestone Boulevard and South Downey is to the south of Firestone. North Downey is where the middle(NW Downey) and upper middle(NE Downey) class families live. South Downey is the ghettoest part of the city, but it starts to become really ghetto once you pass Stewart & Grey. Then you're knee high in shit. The teens of Downey are sent to 2 high schools, Warren and Downey. Both Warren and Downey are similar in a way that they are divided. Whites with whites and white washed Mexicans, Hispanics with Hispanics, blacks with blacks(which comprise about .8% of the Downey population) and Asians strictly with Asians. Teens in Downey are very fond of the drug Marijuana. Cocaine has recently gained popularity amongst the teens, but Marijuana is more commonly used. Girls that reside in Downey are bitchy, snobby, superficial, and sometimes even promiscuous. The guys are also snobby but in a subtle way. The typical Downey guy is driving down the street in his parent's BMW smoking a blunt driving his hot ass DowneyHS cheerleader girlfriend while she simultaneously sniffs cocaine from a straw and talks to her BFF Brittany on her touchscreen iPhone. Warren and Downey are brought together by the annual Downey/Warren game. This is where you will see the city as a whole. They then all go to in-n-out or Petes and stare each other down, but in the end do nothing. Another feature Downey has to offer is it's racist senior citizens. They are mostly the grandparents of the Downey teens and are bitter with the fact that this once predominately white city has had a demographic shift. They mostly reside in the north part of the city. They drive around the city at 15 mph in their $60,000 Cadillac NorthStars without a care in the world, until they see a hispanic walking down the street, they'll reduce their speed to 5mph and stare him down until he is out of sight. People in the surrounding cities view Downey as a safe, nice, quiet city, but to the residents, it's the ghetto-est city in the world. Downey's culture consists of white washed kids, white bigot teens, many mexicans, smart Asians, shit talking, coked up teens,uGgs, the senior citizen population, Hollister, wandering potheads, European cars, huge houses and last but not least Krikorian. All in all, this is the city I call home. Even with it's slutty cheerleaders, superficial bitches, ugg wearing in the summer skanks, chick fights, wanna be gangsters, asshole police, tagging, and the wack ass beaner infested on the weekends Stonewood Mall, it's still the place I call home and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The Mexican-Beverly Hills of Los Angeles. It experienced White flight in the 90's and is now populated by mostly Mexicans. The city is divided into 3 sections. North Downey along Florence is the Rich area. The area along the center(Firestone) is okay. The side along Gardedale is Ghetto. The ghetto side borders Paramont (Black town). The Whites that still live in Downey are the ones who couldn't afford to move out to Orange County w/ the other Whites. The Mexicans are mostly middle class. The Mexicans are building taco-mansions (Mexican masions resebling a Taco Bell building)in area along Florence.

5.
a person who engages in the horrific act of targetting young, retarded children for sexually explicit purposes. This person develops an interest in both the appearance and vulnerability of children with autism or down-syndrome. Unfortunately, a "downey" successively manipulates a dis-advantaged child into playing with his or her genitals before the inevitable penetration. Downeys are severe predators.
person 1: I am terrified for my child. I appreciate the special attention he is receiving from his teacher, but I'm not sure what the "complex" treatments after school are all about?
person 2: Well if I were you, I would look into it. I mean there are a lot of sick people out there. God forbid hes a downey.
