That's weird to me, where I went to school, "Hispanic" was treated as a race/ethnicity, which I always sound annoying, but they wouldn't call a PR or Hondorean "white boy", only people of European decent, though I remeber there was a group of Albanians who called one of their group "white boy" as a nickname as if they wer enot "white" and also I remember one who actually disassociated himself from the term "white". Hispanic though is called "Spanish" usually and treated as non-white and non-black, or that was how it was in my HS, not that I agree or disagree. I do remember getting in an argument ounce with a Puerto Rican friend of mine who was convinced that Puerto Ricans were in fact Spanish, though she was obviously of mixed heritage (I've met both of her parents), she clearly didn't identify with any of her heritage besides Spanish which.
There was not much white Americans in my HS so Aframs call the next lightest group/non-Afram group 'white' for that reason.

Yeah there definitely was. NYC high schools are some of the worst in the country. Even my HS, which was consider decent, had it's fair share of fights. I have to say though, alot of the fighting was gang related. Latin Kings vs ABK , Latin Kings vs Familia, Latin King vs Trinitario , Bloods Vs Crips, Lost Boys vs Crips etc not to mention the cliques (homemade gangs). So in Queens, gang warfare was more common than racial warfare...even though they can both go together.
Colombian Americans had gangs and ethnic fights too? If so what kind?
