Its Not Just About Asians Councilman Liu

Its one thing to address the concerns of your constitutents and another to do so at the expense of others. Anyone driving through Flushing, NY would wonder if they had just entered Chinatown. The inlfux of Asians is quite obvious as one drives along Northern Boulevard. On every block establishments are adorned with Chinese and other languages non of which can be translated by non-Asians. This is very sad for the whites that live in these neighborhoods who have to travel miles to shop at an English speaking supermarket. These are the things that Councilman John Liu need to address as an elected official. His district is made of more than Asians who vote. Here is the money quote from Madhulika Khandelwal, director of Asian/American center at Queens College, “You could say he made history in this sense, but I think the next step is more important, and that is having this elected official appeal to New Yorkers across ethnic and racial lines,” she said. “It is a huge hurdle.” Listen up Councilman Liu.
