Are all white people the same? I think those that move out here may be a little more complex than the ones you might encounter in Williamsburg or the Village. The ones that move out here are going to tend to be the ones that appreciate the diversity of the neighborhood.
Are Jewish people with white skin just "more white people invading the hood"? In NYC, Jews are numerous, but in the rest of the States, they are a very small minority. In that context, I would assume that an influx of Jews does indeed add diversity. What about Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, etc.? Are they being mistaken for "more white people invading the hood" when in fact they are immigrants with different cultures and languages and cuisines? What about the many South Americans who happen to have white skin? Many of the white people that I know in this neighborhood fall into one of these categories, and the rest are most certainly the type who appreciate all the diversity of the neighborhood.
If you look back through the history of the neighborhood, there have been many waves of immigrants to this neighborhood, and Indians and South Americans were not the first. The character of the neighborhood will forever be changing slightly.
Apart from the introduction of Starbucks and the proliferation of banks, I haven't seen a whole lot of changes for the worse hitting the neighborhood since I moved here 3 years ago. And there is a lot of great new stuff happening here.
