OK so I have a friend who is very British. He wears top hats, vests and shite but he recently watched the NWA movie and has booked a flight to LA Halloween weekend. I have tried to explain that those guys won't be so accepting of him and by that I mean he will likely be murdered, but he's convinced that black people cannot be racist.

Now I think that since it's around Halloween weekend he may could get by going down Crenshaw with his top hat that he's very attached to, but does anyone know if there are any British-friendly neighborhoods in LA? Maybe he can ease in that way before heading to Compton.

Yeah maybe he will go for that. Not the same kind of vest he normally goes for, lol.

Send him to north Baton Rouge instead. Much friendlier people there.

Sounds like a great cultural experience for him. Make sure to update us on his trip.

I already thought about BR. I asked him to watch I Got the Hookup but he was not impressed

Does your British friend have a hot soon-to-be-widow who will need comforting?

tbh, places like Compton are not any worse than a lot of international places that American tourists visit without a second thought.

There are actually walking and driving tours of Compton, some run by former gang members. There are several different ones, so I won't link them but you can google the keywords Compton, California, and tours and they come up.

And speaking of Hood attractions, the Watts Towers draw visitors from all over the world LINK

FYI, Brits don't wear top hats and vests. Methinks you are making this up.
