Racism, unfortunately exists here. However most of it seems to be between black & hispanic gangs - the really dangerous stuff anyway. If you are with friends, going to places thay are familiar with there shouldn't be much trouble. If you are alone or with your family, stick to well known places like Disney, Universal City, all the majoor tourist locals. There is usually very little trouble there. Even when driving through an area like Watts, Compton or East LA during daylight hours there is usually not much trouble unless someone is looking for it. Please come and enjoy yourself, see what we have to offer and leave your fears behing. While in the area, it's a good idea to carry a cell phone and keep in mind where 'safe' places, like police stations etc. are located. When looking for a motel or hotel, go with a little upper class and not just 'cheap' because crime can occur there readily as well. Enjoy your visit with us!

Hello, how are you?! Yes i know you are really concern about what's going on with Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital, but I do know that before I moved away from California (now I leave in the Est Coast) Hospitals were having a lot of problems with money. Because some Insurances were just not paying the right amounts. My mom is a OB in a Hospital that is not 2 far from the one you are talking about, and she had told me that for the hospital she's working for that was one of the major problems right now. Sometimes people that works there actually fake falls and all that kind of stuff just to get the benefits wich are A Lot!. But I understand if you feel that way..I probably would 2. Hope you ahve a great day :)

As long as you stay in the tourist areas...you won't be hassled. Like any city...the tourist areas (due to tourism revenue) have low crime. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Venice, West Hollywood...you'll be fine. There is racism everywhere, but Singaporeans (most Los Angelenos will not be able to make the distinction) are not singled out.
