Well, Chicago was about 45% foreign born at the turn of the last century (1900), while New York was about 40%. Those cities were (and remain) dramatically different from "Anglo America" so the point that the US HAS NOT experienced rapid ethnic change in the past is unfounded.

This guy talks about "proud, working class" black neighborhoods being "ruined" by those of another ethnic group. Well, I can show you neighborhoods here in Brooklyn that were once safe white working-to-middle class (East New York, Flatbush, Bushwick to name a few) until Mr. Anderson's coethnics moved in during the 1950s-60s. Neighborhoods change, always have, always will, sometimes for the best, other times for the worst.

My suggestion to Mr. Anderson is to join the native-born black exodus to the south. He will find good, middle class African-American communities in Atlanta and New Orleans, among other areas.

I've always thought it reasonable for someone to move if they don't like their neighbors. The notion that anyone has a right to make sure that property they don't own does not change is rather un-American in my opinion.
