In which The Gay Recluse spots a remarkably dumb quote and posts it for your entertainment.

Ok, so this is from a fairly innocuous Times story about how the post-war “white flight” trend is officially over in New York City, which is obvious enough to anyone who’s lived here for the past decade or so. But whatevs, check this out:

Andrew A. Beveridge, a demographer at Queens College, called the apparent trend a potential “harbinger of racial equilibrium.”

But he cautioned that it could be short-lived given the turmoil on Wall Street, because “a lot of the non-Hispanic whites are plainly associated with the financial community.”

Ha ha,  we guess they’re planning to execute about 50,000 white guys as part of the bailout, and this is going to have a big impact on city demographics. Who says that the feds aren’t being tough?  (Oh and who gets their apartments?)
