hell yeh dont let the coli fool you ask harlem puerto ricans and blacks are an institution.

He grew up in nyc :ufdup:

The most diverse city in America, dude experienced diversity that most don’t
Hmm, even back then, Brooklyn had a high concentration of Caribbean immigrants… yet he chooses to feature Puerto Ricans and Italians the most frequently in his films? Ok. :mjpls:

It always blows my mind how you NYC cats love Hispanics, as it's the complete opposite in Miami (i.e, the capital for their people.)
Whats hispanics? NY Ricans have a relationship politically and otherwise with Blacks in this city that aint Florida.

They arent Cuban and vote Democrat.

There were mixed Rican and Black street gangs and even record labels like SalSoul (salsa and soul). We aint Florida where racist cubans step on Black folks.

You outta town goofs are always taking your local experiences to speak for what went on here
