Fuhgeddaboudit!

Mayor Zohran Mamdani caught some Italian heat Wednesday after releasing a map of the Big Apple’s ethnic enclaves that includes places like Little Palestine — but ignores historic Little Italy and other notable Irish and Jewish immigrant nabes.

The map, titled “New York City Immigrant Enclaves,” highlights 30 areas across the five boroughs, ranging from Koreatown in Manhattan to Little Pakistan in Brooklyn and Little Yemen in The Bronx.

But critics were quick to roast the socialist mayor for overlooking the city’s very own “original Little” — a nationally recognized historic district that brought you everything from meatballs to the mafia.

That’s really funny. Someone expects a muslim to care about anyone other than muslims?

Little Palestine
Little Pakistan
Little Yemen…

That’s a little too much.

I’ll take a little more Little Italy please. Toss in some other good parts of Europe with it.

It could have been worse. Mamdani could have broken the city down into just two parts, Muslim and Infidel.

That will probably come later.

The only group that gives black Americans a run for the most racist bigots are muslims, it is practically a tie.

The Left - We are a nation built by immigrants.
ALSO
The Left - We want to remake American by canceling the immigrants who actually built America.

Hey New Yorkers ... elect a Muslim to run you city and never get what they promise but what their religion demands ... a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law.

Why is this surprising? It is obvious he hates our country, especially white Americans—unless of course they agree with and support his socialism and far left, extreme, radical policies.

It looks like it left out historic black neighborhoods, such as Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

It’s apparently only tracking more recent immigrant communities, and it’s not a true ethnic map of New York City.

This pure evil Islamocommunist is doing something very simple that the Nazis did before: Make people disappear by not mentioning them, thereby making it possible physically to disappear them. That’s what this is all about.

What has happened in New Yawk since Rudy left could be resolved “toute suite” if only law enforcement would drop a dime to the families and let them know their services would be appreciated.

My belief is the only way that will be prevented in America will be by armed citizen revolution, because those who “govern” here will surely mimic what the government apparatchiks of the EU countries are now doing.
