Naufrago said:It seems like old news to me, lots of Dominicans are still going to NYC, but all of our Dominican Friends have already fled to the Suburbs of Long Island, New Jersey, and Florida. Buying Houses and following the path upward to a better lifestyle than the struggle and congestion of NYC. Just like my grandparents did 50 years ago.

The issue at hand is that the NYC government issued a report about the "new faces" in New York...It is Dominicans, Chinese, Mexicans, Bangladeshies, Ecadorians, Africans, etc. that are the overwhelmingly "new faces" AND not Italians, Irish, Germans, etc. As the author states, New York City was at least 70% white, now it is only 30%...I really don't see the relevance of your point with respect to this article.
Best,
Naufrago said:Sorry, but one of my pet peeves are the obvious and stupid government reports that are released and repeated by the media. Big Deal! New York is no longer predominantly White. Maybe this is news to someone who is shocked or dismayed by such news, but the ebb and flow of immigrants into and out of NYC goes back to the 1600's. Tell me, Chinese people are moving into NYC
