And let's be clear, when I say racist, I'm talking about a racist primarily against blacks. There is no harm admitting something exists, especially if you know you are not to blame for its existence.
If I'm not mistaken there are places all over southern Cal that you can't go into depending on what color you are. It applies to everyone. But, Huntington is probably not one of them.

In this case though, they might have left something on top of their car, it could have been innocent until proven guilty. That works both ways as well.

The OP assumes they were racially motivated and verbally assaulting them because they were a group of white guys. They may have been, but they may have not been. If it's not ok to assume someone of color is guilty first then it's not ok to assume someone who is not black is guilty first.

Further proof is needed before starting your own thread about how racist a part of CA is. There are stupid people everywhere. Don't you think?

Racists everywhere and such exist regardless of "color". I grew up in OC and while I know some racism existed it was not really visible to most of us unless we were involved in politics at some level. I went to school with kids of all backgrounds and they were my friends. That is the environment I grew up in during the 50's and 60's and have never seen a major change except when illegal immigration comes up, but that is less a race issue than many make it out to be.

I believe notorious white power gangs like PENI started in O.C.

But then again O.C. is also home to numerous Latino and Asian gangs.

Some people should only come to Orange County to visit Disneyland because in reality, that is the only happiest place on earth where you can be in a fantasy world all day long.

Racism does not only come from white people, especially in southern California.
