The white people she’s talking about are the ultra-liberal hispters that have invaded Brooklyn.

An African-American New York State senator is slamming the closing of a longstanding Brooklyn grocery store as an unfair incident of gentrification, saying that “white people don’t eat the way we do.”

“Supermarkets are an important part of the community. It’s an important amenity, especially for black and brown communities,” State Sen. Velmanette Montgomery (D-Clinton Hill) told the Brooklyn Paper about the soon-to-be closed Key Food market in her neighborhood.

“When you’re talking about a white community, it can be a little boutique, because white people don’t eat the way we do,” Montgomery said.

Montgomery didn’t immediately return requests from The News to expand on her comments.
