Re: Minority population in USA grows to 100 million. 1 in 3 people in USA are non-whi
Im from a multiethnic neighborhood of brooklyn.. And while we have had issues in the past, example, I have gotten into tussles with Blacks and Hispanics, there is one big difference between the the Blacks and Whites.
When the Whites jump you, its because of your race…
When the Blacks jump you, its because they want your wallet:)
I feel more secure in a multiethnic neighbor hood though.. You go to parts of Brooklyn where there are majority white, particulalry Italians, and you will have issues there with people who simply dont like yo because of yor race. I know, one of my friends got into a fight with those guys over nothing but the fact that he was brown.
Right now im in part of the country where population is 80 percent hispanic, and I can tell you that this is one of the safest cities in the country… Im in El Paso by the way.
In El Paso, you can leave you door open, you can walk by yourself at 3 in the morn without the slightest concern… I left my car on with the keys in the ignition, and windows open (long story) and my car was still standing there 30 minutes later!
And yet its 80 % HISPANIC!!! Everyone here is Mexican! So there goes your theory.
So yeah, I have lived with them and I continue to live with them… And might I add, they are fine people.
Fact is, that if a minority is given the same rights, are treated fairly and have equal opportunity, they can be as productive as any other…
A survey of Muslims in America today said that Muslims are “well integrated” into American society, and that they make about this same amount of money as the general population. Compare this with Muslims in Europe, whom you constantly cite as being habitualy lazy and trouble makers,
"Pew Global Attitudes surveys last year in the UK, France, Germany and Spain found that most Muslims there suffered unemployment and felt marginalised. " Now compare this group with American Muslims and you begin to understand how a minority defined not by their race, but by their situation.
