White and Asian are now the same? Stony Brook University isn't diverse because the majority of students are white and Asian?
To some people, diversity only seems to mean "has a decent number of Blacks and/or Hispanics".
A lot of these Southern areas are white, black, and little if anyone else. That's not exactly diverse either.
I'm not saying White and Asian are the same - I'm saying there's a direct correlation to the racial make-up of a district and it's "quality". The "Southern areas" relative to this discussion mimic the racial make-up of the better LI districts - so you (you metaphorically, not you specifically) aren't making much sense when arguing this point.
Not true, especially on the socio-economics. You clearly don't know Massapequa. I'd even go further and say my immediate area is more ethnically diverse than many of the so-called "diverse" towns on LI.
My second cousins live there. My mom's old time friend lives in Massapequa and her son goes to the high school, so I'm quite familiar with it. There are some upper-middle class sections, but Massapequa is overwhelmingly middle class from what I've seen and heard from people that live and go to school there.
And how did it affect your grades in spelling and English and on written papers throughout your tenure as a student on Long Island and in college in America? It is unusual that someone living in America ignored and refused to learn American spellings in favor of using the spellings of a parent from a foreign country. I have never seen that before from any other person whose parents came from a place where they used the Queen's English. Were your early childhood school years spent in England?
I dont know, I went to college and grad school and I'm very successful now so how do you think it affected me? It DIDNT- thats how. And I've spent a bunch of summers there with my mom's family. She goes a few times a year and I've picked up some things. So what?

Very successful people do not get in trouble for being late to work. They also make more than 5 figures.
Yeah because i waste my time googling all about a place i've never been to...
I posted something about the OBI in the old restaurants of LI thread. Google wasnt even around then. Why would I bother coming into this thread to talk about Long Island if I didnt live here ever?
You asked how, not why.
"How would I know about school names and town names and roadways and restaurants if I wasnt from here?"
Success is a relative term. Not everyone equates success with "making more than 5 figures".
I totaaly agree...but based on her posting history she is clearly a low level employee paid hourly. Nothing wrong with that at all....but I bet the attitude is different IRL.
