Democrat Councilwoman in NYC: Too Many Asians In Public Housing & It Might Be ‘Beneficial’ To Assign Housing By Ethnic Group

While the left and the media blast a new Indiana law that they say discriminates against groups of people, a NYC councilwoman has said that she wants to discriminate[1] when it comes to housing.  Wait, what?

Crown Heights Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo has an odd question – she wants to know why there are large numbers of Asians living in housing projects in Brooklyn.

According to the NY Post, Ms. Cumbo made the bizarre comment while speaking at the New York City Housing Authority hearing:

A Brooklyn city councilwoman wants to know why “blocs” of Asians are living in two Fort Greene housing projects — and suggested it would be “beneficial” to assign housing by ethnic group.

After apologizing for her comments, she doubled down and said that it should be discussed if there’s a benefit to “housing people by culture.” No word on how she feels about who people bake cakes for.
