I wish you had explained that you had often frequented that place, Freddy. I think it would have made it more understandable why you were troubled by it. LIke X, what I saw was the emphasis on the "otherness" of the people who committed the crime and whether intentional or not, what comes across is that you are more offended by their race than by the vile nature of their crimes .

Do you know, at the USC orientation there was a very large number of Asians, and we weren't assaulted once!

Gangs have been in existence for hundreds of years among all peoples. Every immigrant group has developed them- particularly among the youth where belonging is so very important.

We all have these thoughts- I think it's just human to see people who are different as threatening in some way, or we try to find some way to distance people who do bad things from us (we could never be like taht)
but it seems important to me not to give in to group thinking or there's really no way out.

On the other hand, this language thing is a problem. Now THIS is serious. THe gardeners pulled out all my baby plants the other day after I carefully went out and told them to be careful; I pointed and shook my head as I spoke and they nodded and smiled- and when I went out later, they had pulled out every single one.
