There used to be a sizable community of Argentinians in Bensonhurst who were of Italian ancestry (usually going back one or two generations).
Another interesting sub-community in Bensonhurst: French-speaking Jews, most of whom have roots going back to Algiers, Morrocco or Egypt. One of my wife’s best friends is from this community, and they do all they can to preserve their French-inspired culture, including speaking it at home. Even though my wife’s friend is 2nd-generation American, she speaks with a French accent.
“Well then I think Hispanic is too broad of a term, then right? b/c basically it’s just Spanish(from Spain) mixed with indian populations of Latin America/Carribbean?”
No G10, it excludes people from Spain, who are Spanish. See BSM at 4:00. She nailed it.
yeah lech… you are going to be in for a big surprise if you move to westchester only to find that you are still surrounded by everything you hate about brooklyn… believe me, it’s not just urban parents… pretty much ALL parents are total dorks these days.
I know rf. I’m not going to get away from completely disconnected from reality greentard brain dead hyperliberal tofu munchers as long as I’m working in NYC and not living in a soul sucking place like the UES.
I would think of it as karma, Lech 😉
