  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: car into house on Staten Island, barricaded EDP in Stuyvesant Town, jumper down on the Harlem River Drive.
  • Lawyers involved with 9/11 lawsuits for first responders could soak up more than 50% of the money available to pay for the workers' injuries.
  • The city's plans to buy and resell 115 foreclosed homes has failed: only 8 homes have been bought. Apparently the banks want too much money.
  • Here's a racial breakdown of the kids admitted to New York's specialized schools. Stuyvesant's class is 63% Asian and 16% white.
  • Five people were killed and 12 were injured in an explosion at a power plant in Connecticut. Apparently workers were "purging a natural gas pipeline" when something went wrong.

    It doesn't surprise me since Asians are very smart. They just have small penises.

  • Kelles

    What a lack of diversity at Stuy! Of 958 admitted, only 7 black

  • cucarachita

    Are you saying it's an unfairly Asian-biased school? because as far as I know, asians are still a minority.

  • Kelles

    No, I am not saying that at all. I am saying 63% Asian is not a very diverse student population.

  • inoyourider

    Could be worse, there's only one American Indian.

    Imagine how oppressed they must feel.

  • inoyourider

    So there's no diversity without black people?

    Are you trying to say that all of us non-blacks just look the same- whether we're Native American, Asian, Hispanic, White, or Other- we're just another non-black face to you?

  • Snoopy

    Don't worry. There are lot of schools that show just the opposite.

  • Matvey

    I can tell you weren't a Pegleg. 46% Asian is for all of the schools. Stuy's class is 63% Asian and 16% Russ, err, White.

  • dude, I was a Pegleg- class of '94. And I taught at Stuy for a year in 1999. I'm just really careless!
