Sometimes we must face our inner-racism. The number of Asians in the country is roughly half of the number of blacks. And if whites don’t want to be around blacks, why would they be ok with Asians? Answer: They aren’t.
Think about all of the articles that were written as Asians took over neighborhoods, how crime shot up, schools went to hell, property values crashed. All in the past 20 to 30 years. Hang on, I’ll find some of these articles and link to them.
...hmmm, can’t seem to find any. Interesting, perhaps white flight back then had a bit more to do with their neighborhoods going to hell than whether black families started moving in? You think?
My experience (NY Metro area) is that whites will tolerate an influx of Asians until said Asians (Indians, Koreans, Chinese, but different with Filipinos) take over the local school boards. Also, having Hangul letters over a good portion of the town can make old timers feel uncomfortable. But, nobody leaves because of fear of the Koreans Bloods or the Bengali Crips.
My neighborhood here in suburban DFW is mostly folks from India.
We lived in the SF Bay area for 40 years. Our son had mostly asian friends. This was great. Higher academic standards, less crime, improved neighborhoods.
Yes, there were cultural differences. They had more people per house than the anglos, but we saw how they took care of the older family members, and they came to like more space. It was the low crime that was convincing.
