[Kevin B.]

I think a lot of the animosity arose in New York ghettos during perods of intense emigration of and, subsequently, intense competition between these and other ethnic groups. Asian, Puerto Rican and now Vietnamese all face similar conflicts and prejudice. The movie ‘Gangs of New York’ provides some interesting insight, especially in the DVD extras. Keep in mind that most competition is survival-oriented and, as such, expressed sexually for purposes of perpetuating one’s tribe. Moving beyond tribal/ethnic mores requires great courage, which most of us lack. As we get older, this sometimes gets stronger; other times it has less hold on us.
