Ask someone from NYC if they are happy with the Italianization of their city...
- peoplefromibiza 5y agoI don't believe NY is being "italianized", Italians have been there for so long that the idea if Italians in NY it's almost a meme nowadays, even in Italy we mock them. Anyway, it's not about where people come from, but how. Italians didn't go to NY through Airbnb, profiting of their much higher salaries. They went there to work and lived at "the bottom of the ladder" level (my grand-grand father is one of them, he left Italy soon after the first World war). NY is also the most no-one-true-identity city I've ever lived in. First time I wenr there more than 20 years ago my biggest cultural shock was going to visit the Brooklyn zoo, catching a bus and being the only white person on the bus (well almost, I look more like a Northern African, but still). But I'm sure many in NY too aren't happy of the process that's going on.
