White Men Need Not Apply—In New York State, Hollywood, or Google Gemini
25th February 2024
New York City—the city that Eric Adams is the Mayor of—is 31 percent non-Hispanic white, 29 percent Hispanic, 23 percent black, 17 percent other.
From what I could figure out, the city officers on show there were a little blacker than that, though not by much. How many of the whites were Hispanic, I can’t say. The opening address was given in English but with the Spanish text scrolling on a screen.
The main point of the meeting was for Mayor Adams to blame his dismal showing in opinions polls on racism. In aid of that he asked five of his Deputy Mayors to stand and show themselves.
Every one was a female. One was a light-skinned Indian lady.[Indian-American Meera Joshi nominated to serve on New York’s transport board, Press Trust of India, February 13, 2024]The other four were light-skinned blacks—mulattos or quadroons, two bearing Hispanic names.
