Many years ago this was true from Rockaway Boulevard on the A train - majority of the white and Guyanese people would get off at Rockaway Boulevard, and the black and Hispanics would stay on to Far Rockaway....but this city changes man! Not the case anymore with the gentrification happening around my way and the inception of Resorts World casino. Not saying this is bad by all means - but just want to point out that at one time, you could actually find situations like this - but I think you'll be hard pressed to find similar scenarios today.

At the Broadway-Mytle station you'll see the white people waiting on the M side of the platform and the black people on the J/Z side, with Hispanics evenly distributed.

Actually I would assume the Union Turnpike station which serves Kew Gardens is more likely.

White people live in Jackson Heights and get off the E at the Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Heights stop too.

Not since the mid 90s. Quite a few get off at 135th. Huge numbers get off at 110th and 116th. Some also at 125th.

That is obvious. The point is that Union Turnpike (and Kew Gardens) is further east than Jackson Heights as well as Forest Hills along the E and F subway train lines.

In an excellent movie from the late seventies or early eighties, Brother From Another Planet, this guy says he can do magic and make all the white people get off the uptown A train at 59th street. Sure enough, his friend was amazed as they did exactly that!
Of course, this WAS 30 years ago!
