	LAC Mexican American
		By the 1920s, Mexicans had replaced the Chinese and Japanese as the most important source of agriculture labor in California; Mexicans made up 70 to 90 percent of the workers on the southwestern railroads.
		Because Mexican American teenagers at the time adopted the dress fashion known as "drapes," resembling the zoot suits worn by young men in Harlem, they were called "zoot-suiters," and were typecast as hoodlums.
		The press claimed that the Mexican zoot-suiters were planning retribution on the white residents, so on June 7 hundreds surged into the streets of Los Angeles, beating and stripping off the clothes of Mexican American youths.
