But there's a difference between Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Whites.
To elaborate on what I said, I was talking about skin color. For instance, I'm Hispanic and relatively light-skinned, but I'm still darker than most people of European descent.
By the way, is there any way to change my vote in the poll? I accidentally picked Brentwood because I forgot the question was asking which was worse.
So as of now, there are 21 votes. The breakdown is as follows:
5 Brentwood
7 Wyandanch
8 Tie
1 Other
It should read (because I mistakenly voted for Brentwood):
4 Brentwood
8 Wyandanch
8 Tie
1 Other

I got confused and did the same thing, so there should really only be 3 votes in favor of Brentwood being worse.
IMO Wyandanch is on a level of crappiness all it's own for Long Island. I'm not intensely familiar with these two places, but I can't get past the fact that when you drive around "the 'danch" it looks like it could fill in for the setting of a southern rap video...
Check out the scenery in the clip below... if you took out the low-rise housing projects, it looks exactly like Wyandanch:
I know looks aren't everything, but they're at least something.
If that town has a "nice" part, I've never seen it. I've only seen blocks that could be considered slightly less sh*tty.
Brentwood can be pretty rough too, but there are at least quite a few sections that look (more or less) exactly like lots of other decent places in Suffolk. Seems like it gets a lot nicer as you go further north... in fact some of the crummy parts I associate with it may actually be in North Bay Shore, I'm not really sure.
Can somebody point me to the school stats for these two places? I find it very hard to believe that Brentwood performs worse than Wyandanch academically, but I guess stranger things have happened.

LOL, comparing the setting of that video to Wyandanch is over-exaggerating it!
Brentwood does not perform worse than Wyandanch but it is fairly close. Brentwood's school district has a rating of 4/10 while Wyandanch has a rating of 3/10 according to Greatschools. (I personally consider a 7/10 or more to be acceptable)
Fortunately, most of my classes are Honors classes, so I'm placed with students who actually want to learn, so the gradutation rate for my specific program is probably close to 100%.

Like comparing Sodom with Gomorrah, you choose between evils.
