It's interesting that many people seem to think NYC was all black in the 90s.

No as a matter of fact many black neighborhoods today were white back then. Canarsie, Rosedale, Mill Basin, Flatlands.

I still meet middle aged white men who use to live in Canarsie and graduated high school at Canarsie high in the early 90s.

Caribbean immigrants added more black areas to the city.

Would have been ill if they had some footage from Black/Hispanic neighborhoods like Harlem, Brownsville or the South Bronx.

I thought NYC was a melting pot?

 

[UberEatsDriver]

For sure. I’m from Brooklyn so I remember a lot of Brownsville and Ocean Hill were filled with lots of vacant lots.

Now filled with those newly built row homes.

They demolished Prospect Plaza which was the NY version of Cabrini Green.

That’s good because you are right

Demographics of New York City - Wikipedia

NYC is more diverse today than in 93 since there were a lot of later immigrants who came in the 90s.

True.

And there are currently Latino heavy neighborhoods that were whiter back then too, like Sunnyside, Woodside, Ridgewood, Woodhaven. I believe Richmond Hill and Ozone Park were also white then and are now mostly Indians and Latinos.

Actually even Manhattan is a melting pot if you go by who's walking around the streets. Just look at the crowd at Union Square, for example. Or the people walking around the LES or East Village

Yup especially Woodside which was very Irish.

It’s crazy how much turf the Italians had before immigrants came flooding into the city after its peak in the 80s.

Italians are the white flight kings lol. They're still giving up Southern Brooklyn and they'll probably give up Staten Island over time.
