[quote=Anonymous]South shore Nassau here. Everyone at my school was white and either Irish Catholic, Italian Catholic, or Jewish. The 2-3 minority kids were mercilessly made to feel "other" by the vast majority of the student body. Vast majority of families were Republican and it's super Trumpy there now. Towns were very segregated and wealthier, whiter towns had better-funded schools. Super common for someone to call out "lock your doors!" as soon as you drove into a "black" area. The entire surrounding area to my town was Sunrise Highway - the LIRR train tracks, strip malls, car dealerships. Most people I went to school with never left and it shows. The pizza, bagels, and Italian bakeries are amazing. It was fun to grow up next to the beach. Most everything else sucks.[/quote]
