Unfortunately it doesn't work too well in the modern world.
It sounds probable. I think it also comes from a fear of the unknown. Someone may have customs or traditions that seem to be taboo to another coulture so they completely reject it. I don't have a problem with Black people but I really wish they would give up this urban gangsta crap. It gets really old. It's one thing to dress that way or talk that way but I mean gangs are just stupid. Inner city kids need to be able to go to school and get out of that cycle of ignorance they project onto their own communities. Instead they end up quitting school at 16 and gang banging, selling crack, stealing crap, killing eachother, and end up costing taxpayers money. I have wished for a long time that our government would make being affiliated with a "gang" is the same as being a terrorist. Just being in a violent gang should be a crime.
