I lived in a not only predominately but solely black area for a year and didn't have a single issue at all, so from personal experience alone I'm more with Aimforthehead on this.
This is where your problem is. Racial tension does not come about when you're the sole or one of the very few people of a different race. That's of course a given. But when a minority group starts to gain in numbers, such happens. They begin to have an effect on the community. Apparently, you're the White kid. They have no problems with Whites because you're the only one. 
Mmm, I don't think so. Where I live, for a very long time, the city (Baltimore) was predominately black (predominately to say the least). Now, when I go into the city i've noticed that it's getting a lot more diverse. Like, its not uncommon for me to see white families just sitting outside their houses or going for a walk in neighborhoods that used to be all black. Or on the west side, my Aunt lives again in what used to be a predominately, if not entirely black neighborhood, a lot of hispanic, white, and middle eastern families are moving in. But I get where you're coming from. Even I was curious to see what would happen with this change. Yeah, it's kinda strange for us (i'm black) to see one thing when we're accustomed to another, but in truth, that's as far as it goes. We don't care...

Obama claimed he was going to bulldoze the abandoned once Negro-filled neighborhoods in Baltimore which the inhabitants left because of crime. He called for 50 US cities to bulldoze up to 40% of their neighborhoods, Baltimore at the top of the list. Is there racial tension in Baltimore? Hell yes! http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bal-md.ci.attacks31may31,0,2302146.story
"They were using my head for a soccer ball - back and forth, back and forth," Williams said in an interview. Williams, who is white, said he believes race played a factor, with one of the attacking teens, who were black, accusing him of shouting a racial epithet, which he denies. 
Like the rest of the media, they won't admit that there is much Black-on-White crime, but it's quite obvious. They claim an alarming number of people assaulted by "juveniles." Besides the double stabbing they spoke of, all of the assaults were Black-on-White. We'll never hear from the mainstream media that they were Black-on-White crimes. Blacks can't commit hate crime. They're Black. Maybe your family just lives in the better parts of town, it's quite large.

There's really no way for me to know if you're lying, and even if you weren't, what makes you think the 30% "Asian" and 40% White and 25% Latin American people aren't separated by themselves? 
Funny you'd think Im lying when you are the master liar. Here is the data
Races in San Jose: White Non-Hispanic (36.0%) Hispanic (30.2%) Other race (15.9%) Vietnamese (8.8%) Chinese (5.7%) Filipino (5.4%) Two or more races (5.0%) Black (3.5%) Asian Indian (3.0%) Other Asian (1.6%) American Indian (1.5%) Japanese (1.3%) Korean (1.1%) 
http://www.city-data.com/city/San-Jose-California.html Check out the crime rates, the income, the poverty level, the education level.
Estimated median household income in 2007: $76,963 (it was $70,243 in 2000) San Jose: $76,963 California: $59,948 Estimated median house or condo value in 2007: $687,600 (it was $375,500 in 2000) San Jose: $687,600 California: $532,300 Mean prices in 2007: All housing units: $701,881; Detached houses: $776,227; Townhouses or other attached units: $566,906; In 2-unit structures: $729,950; In 3-to-4-unit structures: $497,193; In 5-or-more-unit structures: $456,614; Mobile homes: $75,806; Occupied boats, RVs, vans, etc.: $38,228 Median gross rent in 2007: $1,249. Percentage of residents living in poverty in 2007: 9.9% (6.2% for White Non-Hispanic residents, 15.0% for Hispanic or Latino residents, 14.7% for other race residents, 12.0% for two or more races residents 
You area, you admit, has more Latin American people than the average. 
yeah which basically shows that LESS diversity is not a good thing. The west and south side of town is typical of the city average in race diversity and is pretty much affluent. This is a good example http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Silver-Creek-San-Jose-CA.html Its the POSHEST area of the city. Houses there are for the richest in town. Look at the race diversity. Check out this one too. http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Loma-Linda-San-Jose-CA.html Very diverse too and many multiracial households.
