I (used to) live in a completely ethnic American part of America, until it was flooded with American Africans in 2013, and they antagonize each other with malintent. It's not meant to be ironic, they're trying to convince the other African that they're serious as well as everyone around them. And it does frequently come to a head, hence ridiculous amounts of "black on black" crime.
Ethnic Americans in my area will screw with each other and it never escalates, because it's as you describe.
Two different ethnicities, two different sets of behavior. There's no reason evolution caused the brain to evolve identically all over the world, no matter how much the American propaganda machine tries to gaslight the world.
