In Response To: Re: Shifting demographics (Mike)

Mike -
You don't want to come off as a racist?! Gimme a break!! Your sweeping generalizations of Asians and Koreans disgust me. You think that there will be a "ghetto-ization" of the town unless more balance is achieved?! Oh I see... Fort Lee would be better and more balanced with more dumb, rude, racist caucasians like you living in it.

You live a bridge ride away from the best, brightest, most beautiful city in the world - a city that thrives because of cultural diversity - and you're concerned about "shifting demographics"?! Looks like you need to head south pal - West Virginia seems more your speed.

You say that it seems logical that non-English speakers would bring down the performance of the schools. What kind of logic is that?! Are you for real?! I've dealt with plenty of American-born caucasians in your town who don't speak English well and are uneducated. I've also witnessed many caucasians who assume that if someone is Asian he/she wasn't born in this country, can't speak English and is uneducated. It seems as though your misguided "statistics" are fueled by pure ignorance and prejudice.

If you really cared, you'd look to start community and communication workshops in your town. Instead, you choose to perpetuate stereotypes and put down Asian/Korean people.

It's 2002, we're all Americans, we all have the same dreams and goals, wake up and smell the java!! My husband and I went to look at homes in your town recently and the thought of living side by side with the likes of you is enough to make me sick.
