Councilwoman Raises Concerns About 'Blocs' of Asians Moving Into NYCHA
Brooklyn Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo today said that a number of her constituents "don't understand" the growing population of Asians moving into public housing units in her district.
Ms. Cumbo told Shola Olatoye, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Housing Authority, at a hearing of the council's public housing committee that residents in her district are perplexed that so many non-English speaking immigrants are moving into certain developments. The African-American Councilwoman stressed that she appreciates the rich cultural heritage Asians bring, but that many people wonder why the new arrivals are being allowed in to the apparent exclusion of others.

"I don't know how to explain to the residents why their number hasn't been called but they'll see a large migration average of the same ethnic group," she said. "It's not as if it's one person from this country, another person from that country. How does the authority handle certain situations such as that?"
...
Ms. Cumbo's district includes neighborhoods that were formerly African-American strongholds, but have undergone widespread gentrification. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was considerable tension between black residents and Asian-American store owners.
Additionally, as a Councilwoman-elect in 2013, Ms. Cumbo reacted to the "knockout game" phenomenon—in which groups of mostly black youth were accused of attacking Orthodox Jews and other whites—by noting on Facebook that many African-Americans "sense that Jewish success is not also their success."

Hours after the hearing concluded, Ms. Cumbo's put out a statement to reporters to clarify her intentions. The statement claimed that she was simply trying to find out if the housing authority was using any kind of "cultural preference priority" in selecting new residents.
"The question I posed to Commissioner Olatoye was focused on bringing transparency and clarity to the randomization process outlined in the Tenant Selection and Assignment Plan Policy. It was not my intention to offend the Asian community or any other cultural group that calls NYCHA home," said Council Member Laurie A. Cumbo.

Liian tiukka paikka suviksille jos juutalaiset ja mustat joutuu jossain asiassa laittamaan vastakkain, aasialaisetkin taitaa olla aika vielä kolmantena.
