I think generally speaking Mexicans in California and Puerto Ricans in NYC don't let anyone push them around and Blacks don't like that...I've seen Asians and Arabs get bullied by Blacks (in NYC), but rarely if ever do Ricans get bullied....Same with Mexicans in California they don't get pushed around by anyone....

Armenians are another group that doesn't let Blacks push them around....
Armenians?? lol.

Why mention them.

About that mexican culture.. It being male dominated might be part of the reason why the culture, the culture most run into most of the time in socal, seems and can be racist.

Might be more male dominated than puerto rican culture.

I can understand where the OP is coming from. Safety is something to be concerned about. Getting along with others is other something to think about.

I grew up with a black classmate from Cuba. Most of the Hispanics in the class were Americans of Mexican ancestry. We considered her first as Hispanic and second as black. I just reconnected with her after 30 years on Facebook and have seen her a few times. Whenever we get together we laugh about all of the Latino attitudes and cultural norms that have infiltrated our lives despite our best efforts to repel them.

The OP(who has no knowledge or experience of living in Southern CA) is just on here to "stir the pot".

His "friend" if she really even exists, better have a marketable skill set, 6 months of living expenses, and a halfway decent car to get her around in. If she doesn't have that, than nothing else matters.

Yes, safety is something to be concerned about, but what I listed needs to be the priorities. Not worrying about whether or not Mexicans will like her.

You treat most people decently they treat you decently back.

According to kaphawoman Mexicans live in a cave in the middle of Antarctica. What a moronic thing to say.

there are plenty of asians that will fight back, but I noticed the ones that usually get picked on are the ones that non asians can tell are not the fighting type or non aggressive types

they also target elderly asians because they know there is little chance on retaliation

Mexican and black beef is mostly due to the prison system and fighting over the drug trade, it does not apply to the average citizen.

a lot of the street thugs fear other street thugs because they know somebody from the same lower social class will have a much higher chance on fighting just to prove something.

People of lower social / economic class often target people of a higher class because they know they wont risk their life / career / criminal record over a low life thug

why would a person risk their job, family income, life over a stupid low life thug that wants to fight? most smart / mature people know it just isnt worth it.

a respectable person has too much to lose getting in fights just to show how tough they are

a low class loser has nothing to lose, thats why they want to fight

How do we know if said person is stirring the pot? Maybe said person is asking because said person has not been to the area and has concerns.

I am the type of person who likes being like, and who general likes liking people. Being safe and being liked are two things that I do believe can co-exist. There are decent people, and there are bad people. However, with all the stuff revolving around racial tensions, there are people who will ask.
