    Whites aren't the only ones who have trouble getting along with minority groups. Here in L.A., countless minority groups have trouble getting along with countless other minority groups. In the East Valley and Hollywood, Latinos and Armenians are always brawling after school. In South L.A., Latinos and blacks are clashing over political power and cultural shifts. I always remembered people of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent getting a harder time at school when it came to race (whites, Latinos and blacks made fun of them) and East Asians get hassled all the time. In North County (where I live) and in certain parts of Harbor and East County, racists (peckerwoods, boneheads, rednecks, etc.) run rampant and are always messing with blacks and other minorities. As for your case, it could be your environment vs. their environment. I've found that a lot of middle class-on-up whites in L.A., particularly in the Valley and ritzy neighborhoods of the hills areas, are quite scornful and suspicious of many minorities, particularly Latino immigrants. L.A. may be diverse but the class and racial lines are thick and black.
