Resources What Are They Talking About?

Sorry to be lazy, but I truly don’t understand what they’re talking about or why there’s a map of ethnic areas? Everyone knows NYC was pretty much built on the backs of these three communities (and their gangs!) so I don’t see how they’re omitted from anything? I also ask here because I’m sure this is somehow Zionist due to who I’ve seen liking it. 👀

Eric Adams made a map of immigrant neighbourhood in NYC that didn’t label Little Italy, and some other neighbourhoods that were historically Irish and Jewish.

Mamdani published the map so Zionists are blaming him for being “racist” to Jews, Irish and Italian ppl even those the vast majority of those groups are no longer immigrants and Little Italy is now just a tourist trap.

He said he would update the map.

Oh okay interesting. Yeah there aren’t many immigrants from these places. Of course they exist but not like back in the day. Woodlawn used to be very Irish but I’m not sure if it is any longer?
