A Brooklyn city councilwoman wants to know why blocs of Asians are living in two Fort Greene housing projects and suggested it would be beneficial to assign housing by ethnic group.

Say what?
Segregation? Thought we weren’t doin that in the U.S. ANY more.
Say what?
Integration must be ‘old school.’ Housing people by culture must be ‘new school.’
Isn’t there some federal law against segregating people by race?
The Councilwoman is delicately hinting at and lobbying for
government sanctioned racial segregation. Remarkable. Somebody needs to explain what Defacto Segregation is to her. Sometimes the results appear segregated after the fact, despite no deliberate attempts to produce it. #CreditHistoryMattersToo.
We already have reverse discrimination. Time for reverse segregation.
sure, i vote we go back to 1950’s mississippi.
Asians? All I know about them is they all know Kung Foo.
Perhaps the thinking behind Plessy vs Ferguson had some merit?
That way blacks could have their wished for “alone” time with their preferred brothers and sisters, separated from Whites, yet equal in every regard, free of racial aggressions and micro-aggressions.

Bad enough my Scottish ancestors called the other half Sassenachs.
NO more than some of my aunt’s in law would take kindly to being called dumb Pollock’s.
We have had this type segregation since people started fleeing the Old World, didn’t work then, won’t work now.
I just prefer to be called an AMERICAN.
And my Swedish grandfather forbid the speaking of the native language in his house. Assimilation was the goal.
