...I would imagine in other regions, that there is a substantial degree of racist animosity between black and latino communities.
In Phoenix that used to be the case. Not sure now. But 30 years ago the primary gang-on-gang violence was black gangs vs latino gangs. The white gangs were much less prevalent.
I read an article at the time that it was about competition for resources in poorer neighborhoods where the minority gangs lived (south Phoenix). South Mountain High School -at that time- was the locus of such gang activity, and was predominantly black and latino. I don't hear much about that now, so perhaps they've cleaned up most of it.
