Carol: You sound very angry. Your name-calling is more a reflection of your ignorance and knee-jerk intolerance of other's opinions than it is on me. (You generalized and offended the entire state of West Virginia and I'M the small-minded one? LOL!).
The only "generalization" I made about Asians is that they, as first generation immigrants who don't speak English well or at all, tend not to blend into the community. That's a fact,not opinion. The increase in the percent of Fort Lee that is Asian (something like doubling to 30% over the last 10 years or so and over 40% in the schools)is fact, not opinion. I specifically added that it's not unique to Asians - any non-English speaking ethnic group brings the same issue.
As a non-resident, you are hardly in a position to comment.Your superior than thou" self-righteous attitude is very hollow.Prove me wrong by moving here and let's talk in 5 years after you've had a chance to see the situation first hand.
Speak to the points made, Carol not to your preconceived ideas of who I am. I'm hardly the racist ogre your mind's eye perceives.
Lastly -- let me emphasize -- I love rice, and Fort Lee has the best selection anywhere in Bergen County!
Lighten up and have a great day.
