I'm not sure it's the skin color of the people in the Southern California area that are creating the tension so much as the clash of cultures. I know there is a lot of resentment towards the Latino immigrants, specifically the illegal ones, though most don't bother to distinguish. The animosity is a result of the effect the influx of illegal residents has had on the school system and economy of the area. There is no tension between blacks and Hispanic's where I live then any other two races. Both are assimilated to the same culture.
It's incorrect to say that because racism exists in America it's a racist Country. That's absurd, America has no more racists then vegetarians and American is not a herbivorous Nation now is it?
Try to understands someones viewpoint before you assume race is the motivating factor. It's hard to hate someone when you understand them and vice versa.
