I've noticed posters here attacking white posters for moving into minority neighborhoods. This is racist on multiple lines.
First of all it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race is housing. Anyone can legally live wherever they want to live.
It's also horribly inconsiderate. White people move into minority neighborhoods in part because much of the urban core is extremely expensive. So should these people go homeless just because they can't afford Midtown or Williamsburg?
And why try to maintain segregated minority neighborhoods? That's racist. The definition of a ghetto is a neighborhood where historically unwanted people were placed.
I think they were trying to attack her because she's selling that "neighborhood" as some sort of utopia while others think that it's ghetto. People tried to not say it outright so you had all the back and forth with you're a gentrified this and that, there's no white people there, etc while the person that lives there kept on insisting that it's anything but poor and low class. Needless to say no one responded that don't live there agrees.
It's called life. People will attack anyone that affects their bottom line.
Rape and child molestation are a part of life too. But there are parts of life we don't need, and there are things that just need to be condemned plain and simple instead of passive acceptance.
Right, but along with that is maybe trying to fit in or at least be considerate of the community that's currently there. People go over the top on all sides of things.
You are taking the situation out of context. It is one thing to move to a neighborhood and appreciate the people who are already there, it is a separate story for them to buy in the neighborhood while hoping to initiate change in the demographic of people who are already there through self promotion of the area.

White People. The only race you can legally discriminate against.

She was hoping to attract more buyers to boost her real estate investment. And this is a crime how?

No a crime, but most people hate the used car salesman approach.
