I've helped dilute the white population as my kids are a quarter Spaniard and a quarter Argentine. And somehow they still have blue eyes and blondish hair.

But I have a question.

Whites don't like to live with other races generally.

So why do non-Whites want to live in White areas?

Wouldn't Asians, Blacks and Hispanic prefer to be with their own kind?
....just stop posting...this is not a forum for minutemen supporters. I am sure there is a blog or discussion board for your narrow thoughts and experience. This one was about Garden City...and rather innocent.

First of all not all colored people want to live in white area, some people of colored want to live in white area might be for personal reasons. If they have some bad experiences in an area where minority live ,they might want to move in a white area thinking that they will not encounter bad experiences, which is false a lot of times, just because of racism that's still exist in U.S of America. There are a lot of area in Queens which are predominantly minority and they are fine,for example :north conduit area, a lot of areas in Rosedale, St Albans etc . There are a lot of nice areas in Queens people of colored live which I believe a lot of white people don't know about, so for that reason they think there's no nice areas where colored people live. Me personaly I will never live in an area where it is predominantly white, because there are too many white people who are ignorant, and in their mind they think they are angels God put in this world, and the rest are nothing.

I've been living in Western Nassau for 50 years.

Going back to original post:

Garden City is beautiful and safe. You will not be subject to generalized discrimination there.

Addressing the subsequent posts:

If a municipality actually believes in and enforces ZONING, it's much less likely that out-of-character houses get built. If you drive through GC, you can see that it's the case there. What you see happening in Elmont, Valley Stream, etc. is what happens when municipalities cease to care or zoning laws can be bent, which goes back to believing and enforcing.

I have to ask...if Argentines and Spaniards are white, are the rest of South Americans white too? Central America? Mexico? What about Italy? Portugal? Greece? Turkey?
Eastern Europe? Its it your heritage or your skin color that makes you 'white'? I've met some Italians and Spanish who were really dark...darker than some black people I know!
Interesting subject...

No. Most people of South America are pure Indian, a mix of Indian and White - called Mestizo, Mulatto or African Ancestry.

Only Argentina and Uruguay are mostly White.

Quote:
Central America?
Mostly Indian and Mestizo.

Quote:
Mexico?
91% Mesitzo.

Quote:
What about Italy?
Definitely European. Although Sicilians may have Berber, Arab or even African dilution. Many Italians are fair skinned and fair haired. Remember Italy has been at the crossroads of invasions from many different groups.

Quote:
Portugal?
Mostly European stock with some dilution after 1400s from imported African slaves.

Quote:
Greece?
olive skinned, but definitely European.

Quote:
Turkey?
Interesting. The Turks are originally from central Asia, but they conquered the Greek/Romanized peoples of Anatolia. It all depends - many Turks are predominantly Caucasoid and could easily be mistaken for Greek or Italian.

Quote:
Eastern Europe?
The Slavic peoples are definitely European. Exception would be those areas of Russia where there is a higher rate of mixing with Asiatic peoples. Poles and pure Russians are very beautiful - blond and blue eyed.

Quote:

Both. You need to think "White" culturally, but also be the inheritor of Caucasoid genes.

Doesn't matter - they are still White. They are caucasoid.

Here is something you may or may not know: the Hindi speaking peoples of northern India are caucasoids as are Iranians, Iraqis, and Syrians. They are all descendant from the Aryan invaders thousands of years ago.

Most lower caste Indians are pretty dark because of mixture with the negroid Dravidian peoples of southern India though and are not commonly considered White. BTW the caste system was the original Apartheid system. Upper Caste Indians are often much lighter skinned and light Caucasoid looks are highly valued in India.

Need clarification. How does one think "White" culturally? "Whites" are a very diverse group of people, ethnically, socio-economically, religiously, culturally etc. etc. Please explain the proper "White" mindset, I am curious.
