Should Chinatowns in America be torn down?

34. I tend to agree about what you said regarding YT and other

websites swarming with RW haters. What I worry about, is such ideas being presented to Republican Legislators and having them start to create laws that would force people out of these rich cultural communities. We have all seen stupid legislation presented by RWers. (Making Hoodies illegal in what ever state that was..) All it takes is for them to start presenting these ideas to Members of Congress.. and laws could be created to start emptying out these places.

Chinatowns in California are in pretty good hands, since this a very blue state. NY is also a blue state. But things are changing on the federal level. We have a majority in the House and Senate of Republicans. If down the road a Republican president is elected, this could mean problems for all of us, and laws could be made on a Federal level affecting these local places. For example an Immigration law..if they truly believe "illegal aliens" live in these cultural places.

I really don't trust any Republican as far as I could throw them. The future scares me, if we keep allowing them to find their way into office. Another good reason to be on DU..we can all pull together and make sure we are all accepted into the greater community.
