White gangs in LA (RACE RELATED)

These concepts are socially constructed and have been given much weight. What are your thoughts?

Just like Mexicans are seperate Salvadorians but are still Hispanic and like Samoans are seperate from Tongans but are still Poly?

Like I said, haras view themselves as seperate even thought they are white.

lol I ddin't mean they viewed themselves as Samoans!

I meant that Armenians view themselves the same way Samoans view themselves, as seperate, with a strong bonding word ("hara" is the Armenian equivalent of "uso") and they have common rival = Turkey, just like Samoans have Tongan rivals.

From what I hear 18 street has alot of Armos, but 18 street tends to be fairly multi racial with whites, black, asians and latinos.
