Cambodians in Americans started the ABZ ASIAN BOYZ gang and Tiny RAzcal gang. I can see Cambodians in Crips and Blood sets in L.A. Many Koreans and Chinese hip hop wannabe's want to claim Cambodia now lol
They fled the Cambodian genocidal war and relocated in the Ghetto in L.A. So it's a very different situation for them.

@zexsypmp23 Do you know why Cambodians hate Vietnamese and Thais? Don't be surprise if Cambodians don't like Pinoy too

@zexsypmp23 What I noticed is that Cambodians share many dishes with Vietnam. Because I consider them Vietnamese food so I think the Cambodians are copying us but could just be parallel development due to geography.
The Cambodians I've met have a love-hate relationship with Vietnam much like that of Vietnam-china. An admiration but hatred for Vietnam's historical aggression. I think southern Vietnam used to belong to the Khmer (cambodian kingdom) back in the 18th century.
A cambodian guy once told me people get into gang/drug because it's part of the "culture". Surely I know more Cambodians who are accomplished and educated than the gangster type but again, I don't travel in those circles so I wouldn't know. I know though there are neighborhoods in So Cal like in Santa Ana or famously Long Beach where there are a large Cambodian population and many live in poverty and get in bad situations. I don't know how this compare to the Vietnamese kids in Little Saigon-Westminster. Somehow I have a feeling the gang problem is more prominent - in proportion to the population in the cambodian community than Vietnamese.
Vietnamese in general believe Cambodians are more brutal than Vietnamese and a common story I heard is the Cambodian had in the past hunted down Vietnamese settlers and chopped off their heads. Another example is the killing field sounded a lot more brutal than what the Vietnamese communist did to the old S. Vietnamese. Now you're comparing one bad guy against another but I think it does reflect a cultural difference.
