I might add that the ghettos in LA are rapidly turing brown, and the most heavily black area of LA county is a middle to upper middle class area now (Baldwin Park and Ladera Heights).
I didn't know that. I have a close friend who moved to downtown LA a few months ago from the suburbs because he hated his hour-long drive to grad school at USC. He is always talking about the difference between the growing Hispanic South-Central LA (where I think USC is located) and the traditional black South-Central LA.
He likes it there a lot, and I keep meaning to visit him because I haven't been to LA in 10 years.
