Should Chinatowns in America be torn down?

29. One thing you need to remember about YT and similar Open Forums

is that right-wingers "swarm" such places and eventually take them over with the epitome of rude behavior. Someone around here pointed that out in one of those recent Discussionist threads about how they act online. IMDb, YouTube, tumblr, Yahoo Answers, they're all overrun with wingers because there isn't much in the way of adequate (or intelligent) moderation.

While they're certainly saying such hateful things on YT, they wouldn't make any headway in trying to take such action in "real life." Chinatowns across the nation are often so large that they have huge impacts on the local economies. They'll continue in their hate, but they won't be able to do anything to remove such communities.

Locally, I used to shop in one of the Chinatowns here, and probably should go back as it's been too long. I do like shopping at an international foods place that serves the Indian and Middle Eastern communities, though. It's great to go in there and hear people speaking French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Arabic (and probably Farsi, though I don't know either well enough to discern one from the other) in addition Urdu, and some from the East-Asian languages I can't even begin to separate due to a dire lack of knowledge of their languages. At least I do recognize Japanese thanks to all that anime I've seen over the years
