As a non-White person, the amount of self-hating White progressives is insane to me. Why can't they respect other cultures and build them up without attack themselves? You don't need to attack White people to respect Black people or Hispanics or Asians or whatever.

Respect and cultural/racial tolerance are not a zero sum game. The second we start saying any group is "harmful", we start heading down a dark path of elevating others above each other because of their skin color or ethnic heritage.

Honestly, this is the stuff that makes me wonder if I need to plan to have my kids attend private school the entire way. A large chunk of the public school system seems to care more about this than getting kids to up standard in reading, writing, and math.

It's Hell Kitchen that is the issue. The entire section between Penn Station and Times Squares has gotten way worse since the pandemic - and it wasn't great to begin with. Especially 7th-9th Ave.
