WTH is "ethnic housing"? Is that a real thing now days?

I've not understood that one either. It doesn't make any sense.
The reality as I have already noted is that anyone moving into Northern New England can find homes for sale at every price point. Apartments in small towns can be found, usually in older homes rather than modern complexes that you might find in cities, but they meet the needs of those who live here now. Housing is not a barrier to in-migration.
Complaining that a region is "too white" is like complaining that Puerto Rico is "too Latino." This is not only idiotic, it's racially and culturally discriminatory. I'm sorry that the woman in the article finds that too many people in New Hampshire don't speak Spanish, but what did she expect? If I move to Colombia, should I start a movement for "diversity," because there are too many Spanish-speaking Colombians? Stupidity of the highest order.

Not to mention just plain STUPID.
It's clear this country is going through racial and ethnic hysteria. That article was a new low.
Why, lately is an area that's 90% or more white seen as a terrible place that must immediately be made more diverse?
When people say that an area that's 90% or more black is a bad place, it's seen as a racist comment.
There are some states in America that have been settled by mostly whites; now if blacks choose to want o move there, they should be welcome to, but if they choose not to, why should the SJW push for it? I don't get why an area, state, country that was initially settled by mostly whites, cause the SJW to insist it flooded with non whites immediately, like it's so horrible

She might be able to complain if she were isolated but she can find many Spanish communities just a few miles south in northern Mass. Very much so. There are plenty of businesses catering to the Hispanic community as well as other immigrant cultures, quite close by.
black culture doesn't sync with all white Noreaster states. When's the last time you heard of a black person from Vermont? lol... The liberal northeast supports the black movement as long as they stay out of their "areas". Odd how black people don't recognize that.
