well my people, when they are in the majority, tend to lose sight of the fact that not everyone is just like they are. I don't know how to express it other than, picture a really jappy sort of girl from your high school, and then imagine everyone else is just like her too. [ Reply | More

Not so much Jappy these days as Persian. It is the most Persian community in the U.S., I think. It's very very insular. I wouldn't even consider living there. [ Reply | More

Not the most Persian place in the US by a long shot. That's LA. There's actually only a few thousand Persians in Great Neck, which is a lot, but nothing like LA (something like 100K Persians there, Jewish and not). They're just really concentrated and visible especially towards Kings Point. Very Jewish, though. [ Reply | More
