I've lived in all sorts of neighborhoods good and bad and worse, with all sorts of races in all sorts of ratios. None have exclusive claim to good or bad behavior, and all are equally capable of committing crimes. Only the reactions to getting caught ever seemed distinctly different in my experience. Dealing as security for a retail store, it was very common for whites who got caught to cry and plead from being scared, blacks to act hard and full of bravado from being scared, and the Mexicans, especially migrant workers, were very nonchalant and fearless about the process. With them there was no fear or disdain of authority, just a dismissal of sorts. "You caught me today but not tomorrow."
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
