Disagree. 78% of the Prohibition gangs were one ethnic group, an ancient gangster culture. (They created the Prohibition campaign, as well; propaganda and radicalization are their signature strengths. Prohibition, for instance, boosted the profits of a common product by 10,000%. Manufacturing leverage to exploit is another signature strength.)

Those Prohibition profits then bought up the near-bankrupt US weapons companies after the War, WWII, at steep discount (another signature tactic), and they were turned into a global industry with manufactured, low-conflict forever wars.

Laddering their profits in war, crime, and revolution are that culture's primary industries, they are the masters at it with millenia of experience.
