“Even Old New York Was Once New Amsterdam...”

According to an article in the New York Times, New York City is losing black and white residents and gaining Latino and Asian residents.

What does this mean for the future? I don't know.

We've been getting members of the Nueva York diaspora down here in Texas for years. My first American girlfriend was a former resident of Nueva York. One of my favorite college English teachers was a former resident of Nueva York. And one of my ex-co-workers at my present job was a former resident of Nueva York.

In short, gente have been leaving Nueva York for years. So what's so new this time?
