Only right-wing media seems to be covering it. The mayoral office released a map of immigrant neighbourhoods and left Little Italy off of it, which makes sense because it hasn't been an Italian neighbourhood for 25-50 years.

Little Italy disappearing was directly referenced in The Sopranos.

There are more Albanians pretending to be Italian with ridiculous accents in Little Italy running Italian restuarants than Italians.

If I only knew how to pretend to be Albanian, this is my dream life.

Easy, shag your neighbor in the shared backyard bunker and loot your nearest military base after loosing everything except your shared backyard bunker in a ponzi scheme

I already do all that, but I can't do a ridiculous Albanian accent so my ridiculous Italian accent sounds wrong.

My apologies comrade but I am going to need to send you to the gulag for posting a city subreddit in my Hexbear. I'm sure you understand.

In my defense, that's the least reactionary source that came up for me. Everything else was somehow a worse option, with even the OP there citing the New York Post and its crusade against the one genocide it doesn't like. I don't think it exists outside of that sphere because it's stupid.

Did they have a discussion about it before making it a thing about how Little Italy wasn't included?

Because Italian$$ are the ultimate inheritors of the $lave $tate of Rome! It*lians must be destroyed before communism can be achieved!
