Come on, I was just kidding. Where's your sense of humor on that one?

User1111 I have passed by a Coptic church in that area and then there is little India and I have also seen Arab women walking around that area. That is why I said it must be JSQ.

Some folks are just.... There are immigrants all over this city, from up here to downtown. Open your eyes. Some of my neighbors are Europeans, Arabs, and Asians. Immigrants are not limited to Mcginley Square and Journal Square, and if you open your eyes long enough there are some in the Heights as well. Just plain Foolery!

Sorry first guy. I am not buying your interpretation of Heights reasoning. Most immigrants tended to locate around others from their country. Partly because this would give them access to people who already have been in the country. Most of the established immigrants would help the newly arrived to settle down or help them with finding job opportunities. Today we would call this networking.

It wasn't until the children of immigrants....who truly grew up in the American culture, attended American schools and then went into fields or jobs that would allow them to get into the middle class ...that you would see them span out into the wider American culture. This of course took time and you even had people like HEIGHTs....even far back then who would not look kindly on anyone "different".

As heights said....they too would see immigrants and their offspring as "alarming".

cousin, you really need to relax man i cannot believe your bring this dog feces thing to a completely unrelated topic. sounds like you havent gotten laid in a decade lol

His comment wasn't being racist at all. What he was saying is that today with the city having certain ethnic sections is different from years ago when immigrants would do whatever they could to "blend in" to the area, rather than standing out.

Dahood, you are correct this is definitely jsq/mcgin area. Am very familiar with this stretch of JC.


Careful Heights your white hood/robes are showing:

Heights: quote

" It's actually pretty alarming that the cadets are able to get a taste of foreign lifestyles right here in Jersey City. At least years ago American citizens and those about to become one valued assimilation."

It must be Journal square/Mcginely square area.

Let it go. You are REALLY starting to sound like an asshole.

What section were these cadets in ? As diverse as J.C. is they would have to make the rounds trekking in various neighborhoods to get a taste of each culture. Even though J.C. is a bit of a melting pot it is still segregated in little pockets. This is how it's been since the last turn of the century. It's actually pretty alarming that the cadets are able to get a taste of foreign lifestyles right here in Jersey City. At least years ago American citizens and those about to become one valued assimilation.

Hope the like dog feces. We have plenty of that too.

The men and women in crisp U.S. military uniforms walked in close formation through the bustling, traffic-choked streets, passing women in full Muslim hijab, sari-clad Indian mothers pushing strollers, worshippers heading to an Egyptian Coptic church, and small shops with signs in Arabic, Hindi, Korean and a dozen other languages.

It wasn?t a tour of duty overseas, but a field trip to Jersey City, just 60 miles down the Hudson River from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

The city of 250,000 is one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse places in America, and the West Point cadets are visiting as part of a class at the academy on peacekeeping and reconstruction called ?Winning the Peace.?
