No they don't.There's always been White people in Harlem.
I hate internet scaremongers!!!!
I'm white and I got strange looks one time when I was walking down the sidewalk in Harlem... except the people looking at me strangely were also white and they were on a tour bus.
No problems,looks or tension for anyone in my neighborhood.That's Pelham Parkway,Bronx.
We have good numbers of absolutely everyone here but not too much of anyone, so nobody is the boss the neighborhood....not even the Albanians.We all just get along.
lol I can't think of any place to stay away from for racial problems, NYC is pretty diverse. You need to stay away from certain areas for problems such as crime. But the most diverse town in the nation is Queens. Good Luck!
I don't think it's that white people get strange looks in Harlem because I grew up in Harlem in the 80's and even though I never had white neighbors, white people taught at the schools, worked and owned businesses up here even during the crack epidemic and nobody thought twice about it.... However these days they might get looked at funny if they're acting too yuppyish or jogging or walking a poodle in the park at 1am, or doing something else that most harlemites might consider strange, but it's a cultural or class differences people find strange but it's not really a racial thing....
As far as the Original question, my vote goes to Astoria - Queens. Safe, quiet, not too far from manhattan, affordable and very multi racial. It seems to be a large Brazilian, Greek and Hispanic population, no strange looks from anyone here....

Yes! To hear some people talk, you would think that before 1998 or so, all neighborhoods were 100% single-race, and there were never any white people in half the neighborhoods in the city.
There were always SOME white people living in every neighborhood, even in the 70s, 80s, etc. this is nothing new.
Anyway, I second Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Woodside (to a slightly lesser extent). Great, very diverse neighborhoods.
