| ^ + ^^. I agree with you both SB and MM. The point I was making is that it's the gang/group mentality. Black friends hid me in the car's back seat floor when we went to Watts to visit friends; Chinese friends won't go alone to East Indian neighbourhoods; blacks won't go alone to some white locales. It's not the one-on-one atmo, it's the group against the lone minority. It's the ethnic groups against the perceived racist others.
One on one, most folks can get along. When it's the group against the group, it's often total discrimination mostly in fear of the unknown, IMO. |
