Only Ethnics Need Apply

One of my co-workers has been looking for a new apartment for a few weeks. She finally found one on Third Street and Second Avenue (!!!).

She's going through all the nonsensical paperwork and hoops that landlords make you do, but seemed a little iffy on moving to Third Street, especially since last week she wanted the Upper West Side.

"What's wrong with Third Street?" I asked. "That neighborhood is awesome."

My co-worker, who grew up in Illinois, replied, "I don't know. I don't think I'm hip and ethnic enough to live there."

Classic.
