You leave the gate and go to shop in the black/Hispanic "slummy" part of Coney Island... you know, among the people you've got a barbed wire fence to keep out of your hood.

and you wonder why?

Is Sheepshead Bay still mainly a Russian/Ukrainian Jewish community or are there Slavic Russians and Ukrainians now in the area too? I hear that non-Jewish Russians and Ukrainians still don't exist in Sheepshead Bay or other nearby areas of South Brooklyn.

Manhattan Beach is more Jewish than Sheepshead.

This is the same as your original post, and your other two posts before that asking the exact same question. What are you doing?

The other threads were about Brighton Beach, not Sheepshead Bay so please get you facts straight and stop bullying other users.

I'm not bullying, I'm curious. Why are you so interested in this one question? Do you hope to get one particular answer or another? Why?

Why are you trolling about Jews. A persons religion makes no difference if the are born in Russia. Sheepshead Bay is a large area where the highest concentration is near Emmons Ave. Russians like living near the water, hence in Brighton Beach they live within two blocks of the Ocean. The further away the lower the concentrations. You might as well ask about Coney Island, Seagate and Manhattan Beach as you will get the same exact responses.

Does stating they are all Caucasians aid you in any way to answer your query?

I was wondering this myself. I've known Russian Jews who considered themselves Russian (and Jewish). Do Russian Jews not consider themselves "ethnically" Russian, whatever that means? Do other Russians not consider them ethnically Russian?

Right on both counts from what I've always heard. "Real" Russians hate being compared to Odessa Jews.

Ethnic Russians and Ukrainians are different from the Russian and Ukrainian Jews that came first, so therefore Russian and Ukrainian Jews are not Slavic.
