Does anyone else find it weird when they drive by signs that say "little india" or "chinatown", or "thai town"...or do you just accept this as a title of an area?
Because i kinda think it's pretty racist. I myself, am for sure racist in some ways. It's not called "yogaBITCH" for nuthin'.
It seems like we name stuff for the people who will "take it" passively. I mean, HARLEM is not called "little africa" and My neighborhood is not referred to as "JewTown" (cuz it should be. It is in fact MASSIVELY populated with hasidic jews and temples)
I just find it interesting that we are willing to call certain areas by their inhabitants, and yet it's only for some groups who don't fight it.
I mean seriously, could you imagine if we called COMPTON "blacktown?" There would be an uproar, marches on washington, etc...
Just what I was thinking today when I drove through Korea Town.

don't know where you get this attitude!!!
Just so you know, there is actually a city in Western Sydney, Australia called 'Blacktown'. It was named that long before the recent influx of Sudanese immigrants though.
