OP - now that you started this thread, care to lend any thoughts? Or, is this factual information worth knowing for the forum participants?

Well it's "factual" since everyone on this board believes SI is majority white, and remaining that way for foreseeable future.

As for my thoughts why are you even going there? Trying to get me banned or something for making politically or otherwise inappropriate comments?

No, but why post an article without any opinion of it?

And where did you get the idea that everybody on this forum believes SI is majority white? Seriously asking.

What are the percentages of other races?

Because if I have $5 and I give you $1, then I still have the majority of the money at $4.

Same here, if 1 in 5 are Latino/Hispanic, the majority is still, in fact, white.

From Google Street Views, it looks like Port Richmond has a sizeable Latino community centered along Port Richmond Avenue.

65 % of Staten Islanders voted for Curtis Sliwa.
A Republican.
That makes them in my book smart!

Latino growth in NYC has actually slowed down alot between 2010-2020.

As a life long Queens native, I figured the Latin pop on SI was much higher actually and more in line with the rest of the boroughs. Surprised to hear it's that low.

I suspect the old guard will continue to move further out to New Jersey, much like they did from the boroughs out to Nassau/Suffolk years ago. But that plan is now blowing up in their faces, unfortunately. Will soon be very hard to find any sort of traditional Americana in the tri state area. A cousin of mine from Yonkers moved out to Tusla, OK. 30 years ago and is shocked when they visit NYC every year at how it's really like 2 different countries (Americana vs. urban North East cities).
