Black and Latino numbers are down, driven away by gentrification. As more and more neighborhoods sees gentrification the only towns that won't get gentrified are Asian dominated parts as the real estate prices are too prohibitive for any small investor to scoop up properties.
Back in the 90s, Blacks and Latinos dominated a good portion of Brooklyn stretching from Williamsburg, Sunset Park, and Bensonhurst. Today, the you have pockets of Latino areas surrounded by Asian businesses and home owners. Then stretches of Hasidic Jews and then areas dominated by gentrifiers from Red Hook to Borough Hall.
You use "gentrify" as a verb, adjective and noun but you seem to not understand the meaning or definition of the term.
Will NYC's Asian population ever grow in size and importance to rival the White/Hispanic/Black populations in the city? Behind all the talk of "transplants" and whatnot, one thing that seems to be happening in the background is the explosive growth of the Chinese, Indians and Arabs you see here. I do wonder why NY isn't seen as being an Asian cultural center the same way SF and LA are?
What are your thoughts/observations on this? Anyone else think NY should focus more on highlighting it's Asian cultures and communities?
Political capital. Asians are under-represented politically in NYC so they don't have much of a political voice and are often a forgotten group however I am not sure at this point if that is not by design...they seem to like it that way. The Chinese and Korean communities in particular like to do their own thing and not be bothered.
Lol you can't be serious. Mexicans are everywhere in NYC and growing.
lol exactly
In addition to the traditional Mexican enclaves like Sunset Park and Corona, you now see a lot of Mexicans in the South Bronx, East Harlem, and all over South Brooklyn.
Hispanics are in other parts of Queens too like Woodhaven, Richmond Hill. and Jamaica. In fact, you can find them almost anywhere in the borough, even the southeastern parts. They're more likely to be central American though.

Southeast Queens doesn't seem to have much of a Hispanic presence overall
