PPP did present results by race or ethnicity in its (very comprehensive) crosstabs, but you have to click on the link for full results.

The district is mostly white Anglo, with a Hispanic minority, some Asians, and very few blacks or others. PPP found that Turner beat Weprin by 54%-39% among white Anglos, the two candidares tied at 37% among Hispanics (which the cross-tabs reveal to consider Israel as a “very important issue” at a higher rate than do the district’s white Anglos—maybe there are a lot of Hispanic Jews in the district), and Weprin leads only among the smaller Asian group (49%-32%) and “other” (mostly black, I would guess) group (55%-33%).

Thank you for the breakdown.
There are some Jews form Latin America. I suspect that some Sephardi Jews may be calling themselves Hispanic, which is a good reminder of how silly that grouping is. And a lot of Hispanics are Evangelical Protestants.

The GOP has a lot of work to do with Asians.
