What do you mean by racist? Do you mean that people like their own people best, are proud to be black, white, Jewish, Indian, Arab, Asian, etc. and feel more comfortable around their own. If so then I don’t see that as a problem. I see it as perfectly natural.
When I go to nyc I see Indian owned Dunkin’ Donuts with 6 Indians behind the counter. I see a Chinese furniture business with 8 Chinese employees. I see a Jewish bake shop with 4 Jews behind the counter (or B&H photo with mostly hasids). No one complains because it is perfectly natural for people to want to hire their own and to benefit their own. Of course the Chinese are going to give preference to their own in a Chinese restaurant.
Last week a white and middle eastern student gave their black class-mate, a tampon applicator with a note inside that said N- Words have no rights, at a public school on the UES filled with rich kids, the black girl was also rich, my question is NYC becoming a white liberal racist city or is it Anti black
Manhattan doesn't have a racism problem. I don't think the actions of a few ignorant deplorable and classless individuals shouldn't define a whole city.
However, this isn't just a "teen" issue because the "N" word was conveniently used. It's puzzling that the Middle Eastern child would do something so demeaning considering how much they're condemned and if Muslim - feared.

What's puzzling about it? Black people are still treated as if they are the worst of the worst. It's crazy. Middle Easterners aren't known to be done of blacks either despite how they aren't cared for. Historically, I can't think of one group that has really been known to think positively of black people. Even Hispanics... Supposedly black and Hispanic people are in the same boat but you have some that think they're superior. It's comical to say the least, but blame the media. If I didn't know any better, according to news reports, blacks have the worst health, the worst everything. Rarely are black people talked about in the news in a positive manner. Always put down regardless of the ethnic group, not unless they are trying to stereotype them of course.
