How do different ethnic groups of the top socio-sexual men (Alphas & Sigmas) view each other universally?
For example: Black Alpha vs. White Alpha, Black Sigma vs. White Alpha, White Sigma vs. Black Alpha, Black Sigma vs. White Sigma (also include other ethnicities like Asian, Hispanic, ect.).
Since I've personally experienced the second interaction, I'll say that generally speaking, Black Sigmas view White Alphas as especially privileged and advantageous maybe with or without resentment depending on their life experiences or hardships. White Alpha and his posse is the epitome of the Western society and Black Sigma already knows he is a "second tier" already just by the race aspect but is compounded by his lack of social status without a crew or social bearing. That's strike 2. Third strike is also coming from a less-than-healthy socio-economic background and social environment. Fourth strike is his "eccentric behavior" or "intimidating presence" which automatically colors the racial profiling lens of the commoners; he always has to play it safe or people "get scared" or "threatened" if he does anything to "out of the norm"; then police get involved. Fifth strike is being a "weird" lone Black man who doesn't talk much to most people and then expecting to be treated normally by people. And it builds up from there.
The crux of the Black Sigma/White Alpha conflict interaction is when Black Sigma doesn't believe he is "below" White Alpha and so manages to best or beat White Alpha in a dominance game. Black Sigma has already upset the people who side with White Alpha and his attempt to gain high status standing doesn't go anywhere because "white is right" in the society.
This isn't much a "race thing" at the core of the conflict but that the Black Sigma thinks if he is the "more dominant man" in the standoff he shouldn't have to kowtow to White Alpha's default high status and "lower himself" into submission IF he hasn't even been beat in the first place. Black Sigma's attitude in the case is the most dominant man gets his due from a fair competition without the artificial social barrier of "race" having any involvement. This whole dynamic is really seen in the Black Slave (Sigma) vs. White Master (Alpha) theme.
It's not so much a pride thing than it is a reckoning. If Sigma is to be submitted in any way it must be because he was genuinely defeated in a authentic stance, not some superficial defeat.
