Also druggie Indo Guyanese have been condemned by many Queens whites for creating over crowded conditions.  To them that is a ghetto life, even if the surrounding community isn't.

This is where you argument falls apart. Overcrowded conditions is typical for all immigrants, it is a rite of passage going back to the 18th century. Italians, Jews, Irish etc. It is a means to an end, maybe AfroG can learn something from this. First you live in overcrowded conditions and save money, then one by one you break off and buy homes, helping each other along the way. Once in Guyana, a fellow Trini, brother of Carl Boyce had this discussion with me, him an adult and me a child. He said his observation was that Indos help each other to achieve, pointing to my aunt who as the matriarch of the family gave us all a start in business. He said that Blacks did not follow this pattern, you were on your own as soon as you became an adult.
