The phase out usually happens at a certain age, where dudes hang it up after they put in their time...or just grow up if they are able to.
Too many of ya'll on here are like trying to make it seem bigger than what it really is.
I applaud all the non-gangbanging Asians/Islanders who are doing their thing, even while living in gang-ridden areas. It's all racial here in L.A. People got to understand you have to move as a unit eventually. You get judged by the littlest thing.
Some of these former gangmembers are working as your pharmacist, own the restaurant you frequent, pass laws, fundraise for politicians, probation department...you name it. The ex-Asian Gangmember is your boss, your employee, your pal that you just call Duc, Cham, etc...
The kids nowadays aren't worried about having to get hit up like how when we grew up in the 70's/80's/90's. And that's a good thing!
vietnamese , pinoy , cambodian , chinese , korean...... some heads are down , some heads are not. some hoods are down. some are not.
all depends on where/how they grew up and who/how their older heads are.
you put a pinoy gang from l.a. , or a cambodian gang from long beach , or a lao gang from stockton up against a pinoy gang from granada hills , a chinese gang from rowland heights or korean gang from diamond bar and you already what would happen for the most part.
the tougher the situation , the tougher the gang becomes and so it's members. easy to be a g when you live in white neighborhoods or where surenos don't see you as a threat. totally different to be a g in a hood with lots of g's and lots of enemies.
not to say that it's all about where you live. i've seen rich g's living in rich neighborhoods down as fu-- and i've seen ghetto fools from ghetto neighborhoods be the biggest women.
it's just how the certain gang is (not the race of the gang) , it's members and leaders. can't classify one race as one thing.
"the tougher the situation , the tougher the gang becomes and so it's members" That is one of the truest quotes i've read on this forum. Its easy to be a g when you outnumber your enemies 10 to 1. But what is their to be learn as a gangster if you're always outnumbering your rivals, if you have the whole world as your ally. Truthfully, if i looked at two gangs at war with eachother, green lighting eachother, i'd respect the under dogs more.
