Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in the northwestern part of Queens, New York. It is known to be the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the United State, where 167 languages are spoken.

[GreyFriar]

A veritable “tower of babel.”

[Cowboy Bob]

167 languages...but not English.

It’s a neighborhood I’ve known and it also happens to be ground zero for the ChiCom Virus in the United States.

Guess the reasons why that is.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Yes.......different people packed into each other......

[Leaning Right]

I looked over the article. To my surprise, Klingon was one of the languages listed.

(Just kidding.)

It’s like a petri dish that’s been sneezed on by a Cairo rug merchant with a persistent cough.

[Mr. Blond]

So, no whites?

[SamAdams76]

There's a holdup in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev's due at Idlewild
Car 54, Where Are You?

Yes, the neighborhood next to it is called “Corona”

Some whites, some white gentrifiers from the Midwest, who left the Midwest because it is too white.

And I thank Christ I don’t live there.

Jackson Heights use to be a beautiful neighborhood.

It started to change in the late 1970s when the Colombians brought their drug trade into the area. The 3rd world followed.

It is known to be the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the United State, where 167 languages are spoken.

In other words, it is not America.

[ronnie raygun]

And no one wants to assimilate into American society, how many can speak English? Yeah something to be proud of. 167 languages and not one of the is english

[dragnet2]

Isn’t it wonderful to have regions where most people cannot fully understand what most others are saying?

[UnwashedPeasant]

"167 languages are spoken"

167 ways to say jihad.

This proves that diversity is best for all humans.

It’s well known that the average IQ in Jackson Heights hovers around 160.

And just look at all of the scientific innovations that have sprung forth from that place.

Everyone’s above average!
