An Italian-American civil rights group accused New York City\u2019s socialist mayor of \u201ccultural erasure\u201d after his office released an immigration map that omitted several well-known immigrant communities.<\/p>\n

Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s map of immigrant enclaves included places such as \u201cLittle Palestine\u201d and \u201cLittle Bhod-Tibet,\u201d but excluded communities long populated by the city\u2019s historically significant Italian, Irish and Jewish populations, New York Post reported Wednesday. This apparent oversight sparked outrage from local Italian-Americans. (RELATED: City Officials Raise Somali Flag After Cancelling Independence Day Fireworks)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a clerical error. This is cultural erasure,\u201d Italian-American Civil Rights League (IACRL) president Mike Crispi stated in a press release Wednesday. \u201cLittle Italy is sacred ground. It is where Italian immigrants came with nothing, worked like hell, opened shops, raised families, built churches, fed the city, and helped make New York what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crispi and the IACRL did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment. Mamdani\u2019s office declined to comment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMamdani\u2019s City Hall can find room for every fashionable progressive constituency, but somehow it cannot find Little Italy,\u201d Crispi\u2019s statement continued. \u201cOur culture is good enough for their photo ops, our food is good enough for their fundraisers, and our neighborhoods are good enough for tourism dollars \u2014 but when it comes time to recognize Italian Americans, they erase us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IACRL called on Mamdani to correct the map, apologize to Italian Americans, and include historic Italian American neighborhoods in any \u201cofficial city project recognizing immigrant heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 11.8% of New Yorkers are Italian Americans as of 2024, according to World Population Review. Over 4 million Italians immigrated to New York between 1880 and 1920.<\/p>\n

Little Italy, the exclusion of which IACRL flagged, is located in Manhattan. Other Italian American enclaves excluded include Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, Howard Beach in Queens and South Staten Island. The map also lists Bay Ridge, historically known as a major working-class Irish-Italian neighborhood, as \u201cLittle Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over 4.4% of New Yorkers are Irish Americans as of 2023, according to Neilsberg Research. Nearly 2 million Irish people immigrated to New York between 1851 and 1860 on account of the Great Potato Famine. Enclaves include Woodlawn Heights in the Bronx (known as \u201cLittle Ireland\u201d) and the western portion on the Rockaway peninsula in Queens (known as then \u201cIrish Riviera\u201d).<\/p>\n

Approximately 18% of households in Brooklyn and 10% in Queens have at least one Jewish person as of 2023, according to the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York. Significant Orthodox Jewish enclaves include Borough Park, Midwood, Williamsburg, and Crown Heights in Brooklyn, as well as parts of Far Rockaway in Queens. Around 74% of Orthodox Jews voted for President Donald Trump in 2024, according to the Jewish Electorate Institute.<\/p>\n

The IACRL is an advocacy group founded by civil rights activist and alleged mobster Joseph Colombo in 1970. Its mission it so \u201cuphold Italian traditions, honor family values, and spotlight the individuals who continue to elevate our culture\u201d and \u201ceducat[e] the public about the discrimination Italian-Americans have endured\u2014and to combating anti-Italian bias wherever it appears,\u201d according to its website.<\/p>\n
