Black transplants moved into multi-cultural neighborhoods and ended up making them over 90% AA.
I don't think there are any 90% AA neighborhoods in the city.
Black does not equal AA. Brooklyn has a huge Caribbean population.
Many of the Blacks in Upper Manhattan are either African or Black Hispanic. Ditto many of the Blacks in the Bronx (Wakefield had a large Caribbean population).
So those neighborhoods are still multicultural to this day because the Blacks in them have very different cultures and religious beliefs.
Considering Asians are the poorest demographic in NYC and still the least represented race in the PJs, I don't see the issue with putting them on the fast track. Especially in an affirmative action environment.
How do they decide who gets in then? If it is strictly going by poorest, then councilwoman should have no quarrel if indeed, the lowest spots are occupied predominantly by asians.
I dont think it is though right. Dont you have to first request it on your own free will? There are other services for the very very needy anyways. You still have to follow the rules, or you have to change them completely, but you cant do it at the whim of just one group.

Probably not anymore thanks to the influx of the Caribbean and African immigrant populations arrival. These immigrants, along with Hispanics, have brought back some of the multi-cultural aspect lost from the earlier arrival of the middle-American black transplant.

And of course neighborhoods like Bedstuy, Harlem, and Crown Heights now get an influx of whites and asians. Ft. Greene is now gentrified except for the NYCHA facilities. Downtown Brooklyn is rapidly developing. And the topic of the thread is Asians moving into NYCHA.
Honestly working immigrants make little money so in today's market they would need to live in NYCHA. Better than living in overcrowded houses. Maybe the city is slowly doing what SeventhFloor wants, cleaning up NYCHA and making it a place for working class people.
Oh but blacks are benefiting and using cheap immigrant labor too. Who is delivering that food to house? Who is cleaning your clothes at the dry cleaners, or if you drop them off to be washed who is washing your clothes? Who is cleaning or maintaining the building you leave in (many supers these days are immigrants)?
Under the current system we've all benefited from cheap immigrant labor.
Call me when a black owned pizzeria or pizza parlor utilizes Mexicans for deliveries. Lots of blacks that live in in NYCHA, building super and porters are not immigrants and if they are? They are most likely naturalized citizens. Housing authority is a government agency and government agencies upon hiring workers require applicants to be US citizens.

The other day I met a black woman who is highly educated and comes from an suburban homogenous cultural southern upbringing. she earned her Alma Mater from UVA. She moved to NYC for a career of some sorts and she lives with roomates on the West side. Does she qualify as a Transplant or is she part of the great migration?
Oh yea I forgot she also has relatives in NYCHA out in BK.
Who knows, I'm probably not white enough for her.
