Yes less white people. I'm a minority and my kids are interracial, I want to be feel comfortable and my kids to be comfortable in my own neighborhood. I don't want to be pulled over while driving or followed inside a store because I don't look like the rest of the neighborhood. Also want my kids raised in a diverse neighborhood like the real world...a neighborhood should not be 95% white like most of Long Island and that's the reality.
I don’t understand this mentality. You think less of yourself because of skin color which puts you at a psychological disadvantage. You think of yourself as inferior to another human being who is exactly like you minus skin tone. Once people can get over this mental hurdle, we can start to see real progression.

It's a mentality based on experience, if you're not a minority living in a community that's not diverse you won't understand. I've seen white privilege too often in my lifetime. The current state of the US and Long Island is indicative that we as a country have not progressed much. You also have the opposite phenomena , it's called white flight...it goes both ways.
When did I say I thought of myself as inferior? I stated I want to love comfortably and not subjected to discrimination, pretty normal expectations, especially if I'm going to pay so much for a home.
Long Island, especially Nassau County is not 95 percent white. At least not any more. New Hyde Park, Herricks etc. and that whole area is not diverse either. It's increasingly Indian majority and the school systems are academic pressure cookers. If you are southeast Asian or your kids are partially Southeast Asian, it should be a good fit. New Hyde Park SD has a whole bunch of Indian after school clubs, including language classes, dance, music. Nassau County is crowded and the whole being a minority in an area that isn't diverse ship sailed years ago. Schools are one issue but if you feel out of place shopping in your local stores or your place of worship or community center, just drive a mile or so in either direction until you find your comfort zone.
Yes less white people, there's no secret to be had so why bother with your post?
I'm a minority and my kids are interracial, I want to be feel comfortable and my kids to be comfortable in my own neighborhood. I don't want to be pulled over while driving, stared down in public for no reason or followed inside a store because I don't look like the rest of the neighborhood. Also want my kids raised in a diverse neighborhood like the real world...a neighborhood should not be 95% white like most of Long Island and that's the reality.

Most of the LI nabes are very segregated and majority white and by wide margin. The "diverse" nabes (Valley Stream, NHP, Baldwin, Brentwood, Freeport, Hempstead, Roosevelt) make the actual demographics look less segregated than it actually is if you're just looking at Nassau and Suffolk as a whole. The towns you mentioned are the ones I'm considering in NHP and Herricks, my post was asking about any specific section in NHP which would check off my large house and lot size requirement. The Queens guy poster took this thread off topic.
After my research, I like Herricks, Roslyn Heights and Manhasset Hills.

Your main issue will be lots of capes in NHP they won’t be big enough and will be on 50-60x100. The dormered capes will be out of your budget. Ranches aren’t big enough, colonials are to much $$. You will find something I think you will have a hard time with your budget due to the lot size.

Don Imus used to have a comedy routine where he would list a bunch of things and say which one doesn’t belong and why. You wrote:

That’s probably the first time anyone put New Hyde Park in the same category as those other neighborhoods.
This is pretty diverse...

You like Manhasset Hills? Better take a drive and check it out then. Lots and lots...and, quite possibly, mostly....hold on, get ready, prepare....WHITE PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Oh no!
Again, diversity sometimes is = racist code for I hate too many white people.
Take your own advice, I've driven in the area numerous times in the past year. Looking for diversity in my home neighborhood has nothing to do with racism for me so you can take off your rose colored glasses and start thinking outside your square box because your perception of diversity is completely off. The opposite can be viewed as racist if you choose to live with just your own race because you don't want to around the others. Works both ways, that's the reason behind white flight.

It's possible, although my budget now would be touching the low end of available housing.... prices may go down further in the next 1-2 years due to Covid and the staggering economy, here are a few I have seen...
