Just say it already...these "new" faces as in white people. So let me play devil's advocate for a quick second. Is it politically correct to say the same exact thing but in reverse without being called a racist? Hmmm, let's see...I liked NYC better pre 1960s when blacks, caribbeans, Africans/Abrabs and Latinos were kept to a minimum where they couldn't impose their will and classless lifestyle on others who didn't agree with it. Once their numbers grew, is when the neighborhood/city went downhill. Just saying. Lol.

I understand the bigger picture and it is that no one can hold me down except myself. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I stood up and took advantage of what I had and ran with it.

From the dialogue, one can only assume that 11KAP wants to punish all white and Asian peoples for the economic injustices.

Many of these same neighborhoods were already extremely poor and downtrodden when many whites lived in these areas.

I think a lot of the people he is referring to are wealthy transplants, who happen to be mostly white.

Asian people? come on, slumdog. They don't have anything to do with what white people
did and continue to do. If anything, they're outsmarting white folks with their own game.
