Reply to comment by HEIMDVLLR in NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds by Ice_Business

Damn who has 91 friends? šŸ˜¢

I worked many years with White transplants in Bushwick and Bed Stuy. The type that are all about getting into social heaven, being perceived as accepting. They never had an answer when asked about gentrification. Just the most entitled people.

How dare they move to a neighborhood they can afford and attempt to be polite and accepting of their new neighbors, especially with the color skin they have.

New York is so easy to afford, they could live anywhere they want, and then to not even be able to explain the actions of the millions of other people that look like them?! Disgusting!

The point is that people complain that many of these ā€œgentrifiersā€ for lack of a better term, arenā€™t accepting of their new neighbors and arenā€™t interested in getting to know them.

I know a Puerto Rican guy from Bushwick who actually prefers the white transplants over the native white New Yorkers from places like Glendale and Maspeth. He said the former are fun to hang out with while the latter he remembers being racist when he was growing up.
