Line 80:
* During the 19th and early 20th century, immigration to the US consisted largely of poor whites such as Poles, Jews, Italians and Irish (the law didn't allow much non-white immigration). As a result, ghetto gangs were made up of whites. There are still white Irish gangs in certain cities.
** There's also "Polish mafia" and whatnot gangs in Chicago's southwest side. Though apparently they work with Mexican gangs.
* White gangsters often crop up in Latino gangs such as the Mexican Mafia.
** Infamous leader of the Los Angeles-area Tooner Ville Rifa 13 and condemned murder [http://www.streetgangs.com/news/timothy-mcghee-arrested Timothy McGhee] would be another example.
** Latino is not a race as much as it is an identity; While the average Latino is half white/half native, Asian and White Latinos who are also members of gangs aren't unheard of.
