Just a note about what I've recently observed about the ethnic divisions of power in NYC. It used to be the Wasps controlled City Hall the Irish had the cops, and firemen Jews education Italians the better eateries a mix of white ethnics buses subways sanitation, and everyone else had nothing.
Now it seems City hall is up for grabs education is multi-cultural as are the cops. Firemen are still Irish though other ethnics esp. Blacks, and Hispanics are making headway. Education is multi-cultural though Jews still have or seem to have upper management there.
The subway, and buses seem mostly black with a large Caribbean mix. The City administration as opposed to political leadership is multicultural. I imagine there's still wasps somewhere in there just haven't seen many. Btw most of the health, and hospital staff are Caribbean. Mind you Caribbean, and black are not the same thing. We're very different tribes, and we mostly don't like each other,...long story.
Of course the taxi industry is run by Indo-Paks.
Btw all of the above esp. Indo-Paks are making serious headway in business all over town. Did I say the gay mafia owns the arts one way or another?
All that, and Hispanics, and Asians are making headway in all of the above. These two groups are where blacks were in the late 1960's early 70's. Tune back in say by 2040, and they'll certainly be a groups to recon with.
Given all of the above obviously I'm a complete fucking racist,...but in a nice way.
Mind you this is just my subjective experience,...what I see. The actual statistics may be another thing altogether.
Numbers, and actual life nearly never agree.

In various public places around Elizabethan London, prominently posted signs read: "No Dogs or Actors Allowed." Damn dogs got top billing!
