New York City is a very big city, home to millions of people. NYC is also home to many minorities, but they are usually in slums or are not given any basic living standards. Smart growth can easily help with this issue. Environmental cleanup can help African Americans and other minorities deal with leaking underground storage tanks. The New Brownfield Act can also deal with cleanup of environmentally dangerous places, most of which are near slums or disadvantaged communities. Making laws to prevent white New Yorkers from moving from black communities will prevent sprawl in the city. These laws will make city life much easier for everyone.
This chart from National Equity Atlas shows how the minority group in NYC has grown over the years. It is at a point where the minorities outnumber the white Americans. This is all the more reason to try to help these groups to live better lives.
Please be careful with how you write about groups of people. Your writing comes off as insensitive, and in this case is also problematic for being inaccurate.
