Little Italy isnt a slum because the italians made it a better place. They actually had pride in their neighborhoods. They worked hard, saved their money, and then moved to the suburbs. Even in the 1970’s when they were still many Italians still living there, it was extremely safe. Money doesnt make a neighborhood safe, the people that live there do. Ask any italian who lived in an urban ghetto and they all say the same thing: they never locked their doors.
Most italians have strong traditional family values. Many asians came here the last 20 years and they are very poor. Yet , their kids do very well and the crime rates in asian neighborhoods are very low, especially compared to black neighborhoods. Asians are the true minorites. Again, stong family values. When is the last time you saw an asian with out of wedlock babies? Good luck trying to find one.
