64. Umm - not really.
There are lots of neighborhood grouped by ethnicity because people from the "old country" find it a lot easier to adjust and live in their adoptive country with people they are familiar with - people who SHARE the same traditions, language and culture. It is usually not until the first generation that is born here that takes first to the suburbs and then to the entire country at large.

My family is all 2nd generation immigrants. That is exactly the reason for all the "neighborhoods".

Go check out Toronto to see the obvious falcity of your assumptions. They have many vibrant and rich neighborhoods there - and they are by no means the result of being FORCED to be segregated there by white people. That is the way is used to be in most cities in the US up to the 40's or so.

Sometimes, one shouldn't spout things they have absolutely no personal knowledge about, ya know?
