I'm hispanic and I grew up in that neighborhood in the projects when they were nice. As far as people sticking with their own kind, well - the projects back then were a mixture of all races and religions - all working families trying to get on their feet. My neighbor and best friend was an Italian immigrant another came from Germany's concentration camp. Although I don't agree that people (nice hard-working people) can't live in a diverse community, I do have to agree with you about the bussing. That was when everything went down hill. The reason, I think, is because they weren't selective in who they bused in. Everyone should be entitled to a good education - providing they want one. I don't think you should bus troubled kids into a good neighborhood - only those who maintain a certain grade average should be allowed to go to a good school - regardless of their color. Unfortunately, that's not what they did. They sent trouble-making "ghetto" blacks rather than the good ones that actually wanted to learn so that they can give a better life to their future generation (and please don't say that there aren't any good ones because there are!) In my opinion, the way they did it ruined it for the neighborhood and help feed the typical black stereotyping.
