New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker claims Greenwich uses zoning to exclude colored people, denies claim that our town is 27% minority.

Kimberly Fiorello, R-Greenwich, repeatedly press[ed] Elicker for specific examples of when Greenwich had discriminated against people through zoning laws.

“You made an incredible accusation against my town, and I’d like to understand how to wrap my mind around it,” said Fiorello, who represents parts of Greenwich and Stamford. She said she wanted Elicker to “enlighten her” about how Greenwich had been discriminatory.

“This is illegal activity,” she said. “To use zoning to keep people of color out is absolutely illegal.”

Under questioning from Fiorello, Elicker said that Greenwich is “predominantly white.” And Fiorello responded by saying the town is “very diverse” with a 27 percent non-white population.

“You can keep saying it — it doesn’t make it true,” Fiorello said. “Unless you have real evidence to prove it, I think it is quite a statement for Mayor Elicker to be making against the town of Greenwich.”

FWIW presented Mayor Elicker with the latest U.S. Census Data on the racial make-up of Greenwich, but he was unpersuaded: “yeah, you may say ‘27 percent minority’, but 7% of those are Asian [Americans] — we all know they’re successful, so they’re just ‘adjacent whites’ and count as white folks, unless my constituents be beatin’ on them, in which case, they’re victims of white supremacy racism: they still don’t count as colored people. So don’t jive me, man, we oppressed!”
