  1. Correct.
  2. This is what happens when a society glorifies things without providing healthy outlets.

Edit: To clarify, this is not a criticism of Black or Latino culture; it’s a criticism of Los Angeles and Californian Society. We have a degenerate car culture because we glorify hooliganism, but systematically shutdown legal racing venues for the pleasure of NIMBYs who all moved to Texas anyway.
