I get you're coming from a good place but this is a weird thing to put in considering the thread is all about the effects of racism and how minorities cop unwarranted abuse.

I don't think it is weird at all. I am not saying it is the sole reason gangs are formed, what I am saying is when people are racially abused, they prefer to stick together with their own kind as they feel safer.

I think what you might be missing is the racial connotation around the word 'gang'. If 5 black teens are together they're a gang. 5 white kids and its a group

Well it wasn't meant that way, and shouldn't be met that way, but I take your point.
