You said something about why whites don't think about other darker peoples whenever they sign the lease to cheap lofts, so on ad nauseum. Being Native American, Spanish, German, and French I highly resent that comment. This country was founded on all types, hard working people, and people who started from nothing. So if that means some kid who came from Kansas, or myself, Oklahoma, with pratically nothing, they are in the same shoes and any of those "darker peoples" who inhabit the neighborhood. This country, and city for that matter is a free for all, and as far as I'm concerned its constantly changing and that's the beauty about it. And since you admitted to shopping at whole foods, well you are as far as I'm concerned in the same boat as I am, Puerto Rican or NOT. I find it very unfair that Puerto Ricans have this hostility and bias towards white people who move in, assuming already they have money and trust funds, etc. Well, did they ever take the time to ask, inquire about the situation at hand???? I don't like the new ugly high rises and influx of Manhattan looking dwellings any less than the next person, but it should stem beyond a "white" or "dark" issue. Its complete nonsense.

And I'd bet that when they wrote the title, they were thinking that, too - a not-so-subtle double entendre. Right?

I'm like you--masochism just doesn't appeal to me, unless I want to spend the rest of my day composing imaginary replies to their bullshit in my head. And then I don't get any work done. “Border garbage” made me think they were talking about the people.
