Why did Mayor Mamdani suddenly add Little Italy to the cultural enclaves list?

[exitseven]

Mamdani included Little Palestine , Little Africa and Little Columbia but omitted Little Italy. Did he wake up with a dead horse's head in his bed?

[strateguy632]

he left them out kuz they white. but they 'made him an offer that he could not refuse"!

[888theGreat]

The dude might be president someday.

[exitseven]

He is not a native born American.

[888theGreat]

He is, his parents aren't . I believe.

[exitseven]

he was born in Uganda. But I guess if Obama could get way with it this guy could get a fake birth certificate too.

wdefe5You have to be a special kind of stupid to keep pushing that debunked crap,. and you ste87

[loveslongnails]

wow, big keyboard glitch there. I was trying to say you have to be a special kind of stupid to still be pushing that bullshit, so I see you've stepped up to fill that gap. Are you SO ignorant that you didn't even know Trump reversed course on that entire thing?

Reversing course, Trump admits Obama was born in the US

"After five years as the chief promoter of a lie about Barack Obama's birthplace, Donald Trump abruptly reversed course and acknowledged the fact that the president was born in America."

You're so lazy you don't even know when your idiot hero admits he was lying.

[loveslongnails]

He's not eligible. Exit got something right in 2026. First time.

[OlderAndWiser]

One of his advisors reminded him to stop acting like an idiot.

[exitseven]

Do you really think any of his advisors would think that?

[OlderAndWiser]

No, but it is the only explanation that makes sense.

[SolitarySolace]

Mayor Mamdani added Manhattan’s Little Italy after his administration faced justified backlash for omitting one of New York City’s most historically important immigrant neighborhoods. The original map found room for newer enclaves while leaving out several longstanding Italian, Irish, Greek, and Jewish communities.

This issue matters to me personally. I’m Sicilian on my father’s mother’s side, and her family came through Ellis Island. Neighborhoods like Little Italy are not merely tourist attractions; they represent generations of immigrant families who helped build New York City and shaped its culture.

City Hall says the map was inherited from the previous administration and was never intended to be exhaustive, but that does not excuse releasing an official immigrant-enclave guide that overlooked communities central to New York’s history. Public criticism forced the administration to correct the omission. That is not evidence the original map was inclusive; it is evidence that political pressure worked.

[TrueConfection]

Maybe he’s unaware of the Italian population in NYC?

[exitseven]

I doubt it. He also snubbed the Irish.

[TrueConfection]

He hates Pizza and Potatoes

[888theGreat]

I think Pork chops and spaghetti with pork meat balls

[TrueConfection]

@888theGreat. I think you’re in to something! Maybe every New Yorker should have a pet pig.

*on to

[NathanDavis]

I know I've been to it... a few times before

Little Italy, in Algonquin

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It's so stupid to take about ethnic groups in NYC and ignore Italians. They have a rich history there. Clearly he wanted to leave out all whites.

[HawkPerception]

These are my thoughts on the matter

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah, the mafia probably did get involved

Appears the Irish were also omitted

[Jamie05rhs]

Omg. He's purposely balkanizing the city. Leaning into the race-baiting, I see.
(Why am I surprised? Coming from a communist! SMH.)

[RavVid]

I hope he just received a polite phone call with a handkerchief over the microphone. But sudden decision making implies sudden motivation. So I think he might ignored the call and got the horses head.

[darkcloud1945]

Maybe someone made his dumb ass an offer he could not refuse, or, less likely, he forgot the Italians. Bad move

[AviatorTom]

What? No Little Somalia in NYC? 🤨😏🤔

[FreyaRed]

But his true love is Great Israel

[Smegskull]

Where is little Britain?

[exitseven]

@Smegskull It;s "Across the pond".

[fishbone77]

Commies are morons.

[canamlusciouslad73]

It likely is a cultural treasure.

[noohair]

Are they no-go zones?

[Micheal6918]

He has his reasons
