It's a tragedy, not racism.
Well, the riot was racism.

“Added Councilman Mathieu Eugene (D-Dist. 40): “We may have arrived on different ships, but now we are all in the same boat.”
That’s actually true. All the more reason why the black and Jewish tensions totally confuse me. You would think there’d be some common ground there somewhere.

Oddly enough, a growing number of "Skippies" (Clemenza's nickname for white, non-ethnic transplants from other states) have been moving to the nabe in recent years.
The Lubavitchers are lucky in that they have a well organized community to put pressure on the pols. If your run of the mill white kid in say, Ozone Park, were attacked by a group of blacks, there would be no outcry. Hell, when a white man defends himself against blacks (see Nick Minucci), HE is charged with a hate crime!
That will be all for my rant. Personally, I would like to see ALL HATE CRIME LAWS repealed, and assaults such as those described above treated as criminal assault and intimidation, nothing more, nothing less.
