Terica Post#18: The Problem with manhatten is

New York City is a prime example of white privilege. I talked in class about certain public school being better than other public schools. The schools in Manhattan often have better education than the schools in other boroughs. This is just a small injustice in New York. A couple of years ago, the city decided that everyone had to apply to get into a high school. You could no longer go to a zoning school. A zoning school is the school that that is near the place you live. It was said that too many “bad kids” were getting into “good schools”, now everyone to apply, and sometimes interview, to get into a high school. Going beyond that, everyone knows the area code 212 as Manhattan. What most people don’t know is that all of New York City was once 212. However, 2 decades ago they changed the area code to 718 for every borough in New York except for Manhattan. There is no reason for why this is.  There is no other way to explain any of this except is predominately white and holds more of the financially wealthy.  However, not all of Manhattan gets the same benefit. Place like Harlem and china town are large neighbor hoods in Manhattan but have separate names. Yet there is more than one Asian or African American neighborhood in the city. Neither have any names to separate them.
