19th century European immigrants to the US came in waves, Jewish, Polish, Irish, German, Italian, etc. They congregated in ethnic enclaves and turned them into "Little Italy", "Polish Hills", and so on.
The "native" locals, perhaps descendants of earlier Anglos, turns up their noses to the immigrants who "ruined" the neighborhood and were more loyal to their ethnicity. When Kingdom of Italy invaded Empire of Ethiopia, the US imposed economic embargo on Italy and Italians residing in the US send copper postcards to Italy in protest and bypass the copper export embargo.
It took 2 world wars, the railroad, and 3 generations for the immigrants to eventually assimilate and move out of the enclaves ("slums").
Today we have lots of flared nostrils at first gen FOB's again. LoL. What makes it worse is immigrants who are supposed to be poor and looking up to better educated and established locals are, in some cases, more loaded and look down on the poorer locals.
Lots of envy for the richer competing for premium housing, and not a whisper for poorer Mexican slums.
The simple solution is to build cemetery park in the middle of several master planned communities. Instead of Orchid Hills we could have Rose Hills, with nice view of green cemetery on rolling hills facing your front door and windows.
I could b*tch and moan about how Hacienda Heights was better in 1980s when it was less developed and had more small game. With a Daisy pellet gun you could save money on food by going after rabbits and pid...rock doves. But earlier residents, like the Gabrielino Indians prolly have even more to say about the immigrants that ruined their home.
