Yes except the Bronx has a super large Dominican, Rican and Mexican population and then it’s a huge dip for other Hispanic groups (Ecuador and Honduran) which is why Queens gets the edge here.
Also many of the Hondurans in the Bronx are Garifuna. I’m pretty sure they consider themselves black before anything similar to the Panamanians that live in Brooklyn. I know lots of Hondurans live in Tremont but that’s about it!
I know there's a huge dip for Ecuadorians and Hondurans, but in turn there's a big dip from PR/DR to Mexican. I was surprised when I found out how large the Mexican population is, though. My friend lives in Longwood and she's Mexican, and she says her whole building is Mexicans. She also said that she knows a lot of Ecuadorians and Hondurans, so I figured they had a sizable presence in that area.
Oh and Bushwick has a diverse Hispanic population too. Large amounts of PRs, DRs, Mexicans, Ecuadorians at least.
The 7 line has to be the most diverse of all the subway line! When I was in High School, my zone school spoke 137 languages.
Brooklyn is the second city, has a larger Jewish community, a larger African American community, larger Italian community than Queens. More subway lines run through Brooklyn. Brooklyn has the worse highway of the 5 boros, which is that dreaded BQE (despise it). Brooklyn has the ship yards. The infamous Coney Island Broadwalk.

But since we are talking subways I will say Brooklyn has a Downrown while Queens seems to have several hubs like Jamaica, Flushing, Elmhurst etc.
Brooklyn like Manhattan used to be a separate city whereas Queens was made of many small villages/towns.

Jackson Heights is also the center of the Indian (from India) population of NYC.

I agree Queens isn't like a third world at all especially since I have visited a few 3rd countries.

I think that Queens is considered the most ethnically diverse "city" in the USA along the 7 subway line.
Queens has many very densely populated neighborhoods. Woodside, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Corona, Astoria, Elmhurst, etc. compete with Brooklyn level of density in my opinion.
I'd say that the most dense Queens neighborhoods are more dense than the most dense Brooklyn neighborhoods. For example, Sunset Park and Bushwick don't seem as close to as dense as Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, or Downtown Flushing.
Brooklyn keeps creatin it, and Queens keeps on fakin it!
That track ended KRS' career. Getting bucked on the strip ended Brooklyn's creatin it days. Now you have "creatives" from middle America that you worship as "cool."

Similar story in Western Flatbush. My cousin building on Foster went from all Haitian to all Mexican!
Maybe they are the largest but African Americans and Dominicans have been two very large groups there for many decades.
There are more Africans and Mexicans in the mix also now!
