If you ever walk through Richmond Hill, especially 98th street south of Jamaica Avenue, plenty of Italian flags. But it's a predominantly Guyanese neighborhood (or something). Same thing with Corona around 104th street (now mostly Mexican, etc.).

The truth about Queens is that is almost 50% Asian, all of it.

Check out this map from CUNY that says it all:

That's spot-on, Flushing. And even though I have more than a few years on you, we're alike in that we're both outer borough holdouts who still actually live here.

I have many good friends on this board. But if one more person from the Midwest asks me if the Bronx will ever "be Italian again," I'm gonna scream lol.
