When Katrina hit New Orleans, the population of the city mainly "cried for help" from the government. Just a few weeks later, a similarly destructive hurricane hit the rural western part of LA. Those residents simply went out and helped each other. (I lived in New Orleans at the time so paid attention to this.)
In addition, I wonder if there are any studies looking closely at this. Are ethnic tensions the result of ethnic differences, or because the different ethnicities are artificially kept from building bridges by too much government interfer...I mean...support.
