Migration
An influx of Asian community already known also in Jefferson region came into East Los Santos specifically Alexandria Avenue. The areas current history with several Hispanic communities and African-American communities left these teenagers vunerable as these Asians did remain a minority and were picked out by surrounding gangs/individuals. A community of Asians was a prime suspect of this abuse, whereas you would see these Asian individuals predominantly of South-East Asian descent being picked on and even robbed in worst case killed. Influence, self protection lead these Asians to form a tight knit community together in order to avoid or at the least stop being picked out on their own but instead face this threat as a group.
Cigarettes, Drinks and Dope.
A few of these teenager residents have taken to alternative means to cater to their material needs - in some cases in order to support an underpaid family one of these ways was selling cigarette packets, this was a good start for these teenagers as it gave them some real money to work with however soon after the group were introduced to narcotics which spiked their profits also to cater their needs was to turn to theft in some instances, fascinated by the sudden raise in their gains the risks meant far less to them. Furthermore a small drug running group was created under no name, where they sold these narcotics on the streets for a reasonable amount of money. However, this youth would soon find their newfound wealth threatened by a series of robberies and attempts of extortion perpetrated by gangs coming from surrounding neighborhoods this led to the Asian community to being even more violent.
