"get on"???
Are you from England?
I live in Highland Park, just north of downtown L.A. First let me say that 95% of the Latinos here are just going to work & school, triyn' to make a livin'. There are few blacks, whites are moving in, and there is a large Filipino population.
What you should understand is that it is not about race as it is class. When you get around the "apartment areas", you tend to have more gang activity, and this is what is propagated in the media.
That being said, there is a gang out here that was bent on keeping brothas out. 4 of them recently received life sentences for hate crimes.
I've lived here for 4 years. Just so happens my wife is Latina, but I've yet to be approached by anyone on that tip...
It's not about race, its about class...

That's not true. I live in California and a lot of my friends are Mexican, among other nationalities and ethnicities.
As a matter of fact, just the other night we were talking about how wonderful it would be if all so-called "minorities" started coming together as one. And how we could really enact some changes in this country if we started a movement to come together.

It's not just Blacks & Mexicans -- just any groups of people together. But I've noticed that anytime people compete for the same thing and the prize is limited, the tendency is a lot of disharmony and sometimes it can get ugly.
Other way people can do it is to get together and try to see that there is more to go around -- that no one is left out. That is the hard part we need to do.

I live in Southern California and in the high schools here, and the one I go to, the black and Mexican students are always in some sort of arguement. They both dislike each other very much so.

The Mexicans better get some friends because the whites are trying to send all Mexicans back to Mexico whether you are legal or illegal.

get on what? don't get along?
I've lived in Cali my whole life and i've gotten along well with blacks and other nationalities as well, and i'm mexican. My first boyfriend was black and so was my best friend.
the 2 races get along pretty well, from what i've seen living in Cali.
take care.

This argument could be had for 2 groups of people anywhere. Who keeps track of this stupid stuff? There are too many really important things happening in the world today.

In jail, no. In real life, sure.
But then, prison does tend to collect the dregs...

Are you kidding or are you blind? The hatred is rampant across the United States. I don't like anyone that isn't white. I especially don't like cross-breeders from other countrys (like the UK).
