AM New York, a free ad supported newspaper handed out to commuters during morning rush hour in New York City, has an article about the backlash against the Asian community in Queens, New York.
Tony Avella is leading the local white homeowners against expansive construction by the increasing Chinese and Korean population in the neighborhood. He’s, of course, framing the conversation as having nothing to do with race, but everything to do with McMansions.
It is, however, very revealing how every single one of the protests target an Asian homeowner.
Tony Avella is widely speculated to be a future mayoral candidate for the Mayor of New York City. What a great ticket to run for a Mayor, Tony. Don’t count on getting any minority votes.
