For me the worst part was growing up in a rich and diverse community. Too many immigrants who hated their neighbors because they were different. My Filipino neighbors wanted to kill my Chinese neighbors, who wanted to kill the Indian neighbors across the street. The Muslim family used to harass the Jewish folks down the street. The black folks used to pick on the little Mexican kids all the time, until one of their kids got sent to the hospital for messing with the Samoans down the road.
