"I live on the east side of Long Beach. Only fools venture into the dangerous parts of town here."

Is that known to be a bad part of town dominated by blacks that are bad?

The west side has a black ghetto and further south are the Cambodians and to the west of them are Latinos. Gangs are prevalent in those areas. Almost all the robberies, assaults, rapes and murders are on the west side. The east side is affluent, middle class and predominantly white. It has safe and clean streets.

Is that known to be a bad part of town dominated by blacks that are bad? The east side, where he lives, is a more affluent side. We are toward the northwest, closer to Los Angeles, for those who don't know the area. Our neighborhood has a high per capita earning and people of all stripes live here. At our local elementary school, the children are equally divided along race lines with one quarter each black, white, Hispanic, and Asian.
