Cmon buddy you are multicultural yourself. You aren't so bad. Your grammy should have taught you Spanish though, what a dope.
She didn't teach my mother because she wanted her to assimilate and be American, not exist as a minority culture forced to watch The Love Boat on SAP (heh, I have lots of memories of that as a kid). That's what happens when you limit immigration and let the melting pot work. Hopefully that happens again soon.
/\ true but, a renter of any color would have a much better chance at giving their child a better opportunity at Garden City school but, GC apparently intentionally and illegally kept them out. For shame.
Do you know anything about how Garden City came to be? Read up on it and then you might understand why there were never any rentals to begin with.

Why is it that immigration rules have been so lax for so long?
Well that is the future of Long Island, isn't it? All the nicer neighborhoods on LI are expensive as heck to live in. The ones that aren't rich, are getting illegals & other dregs of society dumped in them.
The up & coming places in Mineola & Farmingdale...all unaffordable, out of reach for anyone but white collar execs with Benzes & Audis.
So Farmingdale gets a Starbucks while here in Westbury we get more Human Waste that just sits around town all day drinking Modelo. But we're not a rich neighborhood so we don't get the good stuff, we get the garbage. So unless the garbage stops getting dumped here (and carted out like it should be), and we have waves of revitalizations that help everyone, it will only become more like Brazil.
There's nothing wrong with culture, but when it starts hanging around treating your streets & towns like toilets, its no longer culture, it's garbage.
If a person is on social programs and is housed in Westbury, what does that make them?

A U.S. Citizen?? I know folks like us don't "deserve" to live in happier places, I get it.
Perhaps if you were born with a chemically imbalanced brain, nerve defects, and a body prone to breaking down like a NICE Bus you'd have a different view of things.
Who cares how things used to be? A new day is here and in this country the majority rules.
Uh no, we live in a constitutional republic with checks and balances, not a straight democracy. Simple majority does not rule here. You are right that a new day may be coming but it may not be what you are hoping for.

And if you were born dirt poor in a drug war battle zone and wanted something approaching a future, maybe you would think differently, too. just saying.
