Which ethnic group probably has the most influence on Manhattan these days? (money, areas)

[chainsmokingrigor]

If that is the right way to ask it I guess.

I mean there doesn't seem to be any majority in Manhattan because it is so diverse but culturally and in terms of numbers, what ethnic group is close to dominating the wealthier areas of Manhattan?

I heard it is still mostly Italians like the most of NYC but it also seems like Jewish people have a lot of influence too.

I think at this point, it’s probably a pretty mixed mostly European descent Americans that doesn’t overwhelmingly identify with a particular European heritage collectively.

It's pretty much just your standard issue white person.

Manhattan mostly Italians? Definitely not.

But I agree with the poster that said "standard white person" is probably the most dominant group in Manhattan (especially South of Harlem).

Seems to me that the group with the most influence remains the same:

RICH MEN WHO USUALLY TEND TO BE WHITE

If you absolutely insist on making it ethnic, then WASPs.
