Again, I believe "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." Remove the ability for people to mistake affirmative action to mean quota for decision making and I agree, but to use it as a dealbreaker is just silly.
I'm not going to go as far and say that there's no racism at all in America, that's just silly.
I'll say that people want to live the way they want to. They tend to buy up and rent properties where they feel comfortable and near their families. This means that Germantown in Manhattan was once filled with Germans and the same with Little Italy. Now Germantown is part of a gentrified neighborhood. Little Italy? It's about to be swallowed up by Chinatown.
Even Long Island City which was no race or anything but industry is now being peddled to the Chinese and Koreans. Why? Proximity to Flushing where their families live and a critical mass of them seemed interested in the properties, so "let's market to them."
You have so many Gradution Commencements that are race oriented, shoudln't this be not allowed for the very reasons that it is discrimanatory to those that aren't of the race?
