The liquor stores have detrimental effect and they blame ethnic groups from the Asian communities opening these businesses in their communities. 

The types of Sikhs that get hit by the black communities tend to be recent migrants who open these businesses and live in these communities. 

Eventually when these migrants become more established they move out of these areas.

100% true. Instead of learning the value of the hard work they feel jealous and those shop owners who ignore and focus on the hard work with risking their lives, they move to the next level and vast majority of their kids end up getting good education. However, this is the same attitude comes from both black/whites. 

I also believe that the system is making them unable to stand on their feet.

There are a lot of African Americans that have resentment towards other ethnic groups if they have certain types of businesses in the neighbourhoods like liquor stores.

I have friends that lived in Flushing in Queens. Flushing is mainly a Chinese area, my friend would rather pay several hundred bucks on rent to live here than somewhere like Jamaica Heights.

What people also need to realise New York is effectively a minority - majority city. There are not many WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) living in New York.

The major white communities tend to be Jews, Italians and Irish.

Sikhs are predominantly in Queens and they are surrounded by mainly Hispanic, other Asians and blacks.

This reminds of this famous scene in Menace II Society 

Having visited America a couple of times, I would say the Hispanics are the most racist and rude. The blacks were the most friendly followed by the whites.

The Hispanics are a diverse group.

In Florida  (particularly South Florida), they are mainly Cuban.

In New York, they are mainly Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Columbians and this varies depending in which borough you are in.

California and Texas, they are mainly Mexicans.

When I speak to my East Coast relatives, in their opinion the Hispanics are not bad bunch, quite family orientated but when they live with blacks, they pick up a lot of their mannerisms. 

I think it depends where in the US you go to.

When you mix with Americans and from different parts of the US, you come to realise the country is more like a continent. 

Even African Americans from different parts of the US are very different from each other.

You could say the same about Sikhs from different parts of the UK too.

Regional differences exist.

What's strange is that I've met a few really black loathing people from the UK who do business in the US (around NY and Miami) and whatever experiences they have had seems to have changed them. Now they say they can't stand black people but African-Americans are okay. lol! 

Might watch that film again btw. Haven't seen it in many years.

I went to both Los Angeles and New York.

I found the Mexicans in LA and Puerto Ricans equally as rude. My wife has been to Miami and said the Cubans were similar.

They just seem to have a really bad attitude. Even a Malaysian Indian I worked with who frequently flew to New York said you don't want a Hispanic guard at Immigration when you land, they will give you a hard time.

My wife's from there. It's full of lunatic drivers and generally impatient people who have no regards to following laws.

There's no country with a South Asian majority that can be considered a first world country.

New Yorkers generally are quite a rude bunch. And that is New Yorkers of all ethnic groups.

Californians I find a lot more relaxed and laid back (generalisation here) compared to New Yorkers.

But your experience could because you were in the big cities. In the smaller cities and towns people tend to be friendlier. 

I myself had a bad experience at JFK airport, one with an African American and one with an Italian American.
