yes, there is hispanic-black gang rivalry, usually out of a mix of geography and racism.
but this should not imply some kind of unity amongst the hispanic "southsiders"
these are just and even more likely to shoot and kill another southside set than a black set. There is far more inter-southside beef and drama and politics then there is interracial. Every 13 set is against another, where as amongst black gangs, CRIPS tend to be cool with other CRIP sets, and you don't see this necessarily in hispanic gangs. With the Southsiders, each set is sort of on their own, and the 13 just mediates and keeps negotiations and communication open.
