Minority On Minority Racism

Here's the kind of thing the media covers less than other incidents of "racism" because the perpetrators were not white.

Black supervisors in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department were acting out of racism when they called a group of Latino deputies the "Mexican Mafia" and disciplined a member, jurors found Thursday.

Angel Jaimes, a 19-year veteran of the department, was harassed because of his Mexican origin by his supervisors, who, according to testimony, said the station "was run by Mexicans and they were going to change that," the panel concluded.

But jurors also said they did not find the supervisors' conduct to be "outrageous."
