The Chinatown in Manhattan is heavily gentrified and will be mostly White owned in a decade or two so I don't buy this article. Most of the Chinese are moving to the Chinatown in Queens.


This is a P.R article..Folks getting moved out Chinatown and they not feeling it so expect more articles talking about what "value" they bring to neighborhoods, lol. Nobody cares anymore and the folks moving in aint on they food like that. Not with the hipsters eating healthy.......nah bruh...the gentrification was cool when it was just the hood. Now they got these upstanding people in pics talking about their values...fukkouttahere.

This is the essence right here: Wing Lam
One of Chinatown’s most prominent left-wing activists and co-founder and director of the Chinese Staff & Workers Association.
“There are a lot of forces trying to push our people out, but we organize. Not just to keep the current situation, but to build more housing and a better economy. Other communities have already been destroyed. We’re still here, because people know that our community has fought for a long time.”

Out here in my damn drawls
The problem is we'd have to be psychics because the property values ONLY go up once Whites move back in.

The priority shouldn't be about inflating property values and selling. Low is good

The point is to create prime, affordable, mixed income black neighborhoods, encouraging ownership, community and improving the quality of life


That's where the value lies. It's essentially a renaissance approach

I dont care about diversity, because that aint gonna raise a black child any better when in so called diverse areas people stick to their own ethinic groups. Why do blacks wait on whites to gentrify communities instead lf doing it themselves? Non black groups gentrify neighborhoods and end up getting the property CHEAP thus building wealth when the property values increase, then dumb ass blacks try to move in because they hear its a hot spot and end up paying a premium/inflated prices. Theses places were black communities prior so why do pur dumb asses leave them to rot and then try to move back in when we cant afford to anymore? This is the dumbest ish ever.

Because Chinatown aint just that, it's a mashup of Vietnamese, Cambodians, Thai, Taiwan Chinese, HK/mainland Chinese, Koreans, Laos, Phillipinos, Singaporeans, etc,.

It's majority Chinese (there are a lot of Chinese in the world) but it stays Asian more than it stays Chinese.
yeah, in seattle its even now known as "International District"

realistically though, Chinatowns nationwide are grimey, filthy, and filled with old buildings and really low revenue businesses. Staying undesirable to outsiders keeps outsiders outside :manny:

Please note: not one person in the article said anything like...
"bu bu you can't tell them what to do with their money"
"how do you know what they aren't doing behind the scenes"

They are publicly following an unapologetic Chinese agenda, encouraging the next generation to follow suit, and are supporting orgs that also follow an unapologetic Chinese agenda

White people allow asians, hispanics, to have their own areas and they enjoy going there and work to keep the "culture" around for their enjoyment.
Black americans have tried to repeatedly to do the same, whites don't want this, they actively go out of their way to attack successful black enclaves and destroy them where they stand.
Its a weird anti-black mindset, I'll never understand.

but if you remove the current and historical efforts of the Chinese associations, the "successful" asians(merchants, doctors, government officials etc), and the Chinese underworld crews, then Chinatown would've already been all white folks

You think black towns didn't have that.
They dropped bombs on black towns like that, they killed everyone and burned our towns down.
Whites have a far different attitude of blacks than they do of non-blacks.
They see us successful without them and they aren't interested, their curiosity isn't piqued, they are scared to death and ready to do what it takes to eliminate the threat.

I'm not questioning the wicked antics and animosity that white folks have for black folks, I'm talmbowt the various social and economical levels of Chinese culture in the USA making deliberate efforts to follow an unapologetic Chinese agenda, which is the only reason why Chinatown remain as it is throughout the decades

Remove the efforts of the various levels in Chinese culture, then there would be no Chinatowns in various parts of the USA
