IDK Pegs, why are we so frigging race obsessed on this board?
Everyone gets a turn in the barrel.
This generations Mexicans were last generations Blacks.Then it was the Italians,then the Irish etc etc etc. We gotta get past this crap on LI.I dont give a rats ass where youre from or what you look like...but I do care where youre at and how youre living.
I suspect Uncle Gs looked for areas with Pork stores. K of C and Catholic Churches and moved right in.Its certainly not an upscale play but the food is great.Its really Whole Foods that caters to the stupid yuppies in little carts.Cue the Land Rovers.

JIW has a valid pt crooks. Not to mention the massive organizations like La Raza, brown pride...yeah, the irish had the westies in hells kitchen and itals- cosa nostra, but those were a lot smaller, isolated groups. Our great ancestors had a higher level of respect, most learned the language. Most improved their areas.
As far as Uncle G;s, your pork store theory is pretty weak (smithtown, port wash, pjs, E Meadow??)). And I won't claim all of Massapequa is upscale, or downscale for that matter. Most of the locations seem to be in btwn middle and upscale (upper middle?). You don't just jump from Hicksville to Sands Point,

No theory Peqs,
I just think they were looking for a solid target demo. I agree, being two of the groups mentioned that out grandparents did a much better job of joining in, but it was different times.Keep in mind the Mafia, Westies and MS13 are not dissimilar in their desire to protect their own in areas where legitimate PD failed them.
I don't think Massapequa is up or downscale but it is very Italian and solidly Middle Class with some really nice areas of affluence. RP/MP was on the shortlist for UGs too, I heard they just got a better deal on the RE in PJS so we got a Petco : (.
i have no great love of gangs or illegals but c'mon. they take jobs no one wants, live in areas white people have no desire to live in and their lack of matriculation is mutual as far as I am concerned.
