Italian-Americans Blast Mamdani After Excluded from Mayor's Map of NYC Immigrant Neighborhoods
The map lists 30 immigrant enclaves and has drawn criticism from Italian, Irish and Jewish leaders who say it leaves longtime neighborhoods out.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani's City Hall published an official map of 30 immigrant enclaves for World Cup tourists, but the initiative sparked 'Mapgate' backlash after omitting historic Italian, Irish, and Jewish neighborhoods.
- The Mamdani administration expanded a 2023 list from former Mayor Eric Adams, adding four enclaves; when staff suggested including others, speechwriter Julian Gerson dismissed concerns, noting, "Meh, we can't include everyone."
- Italian Americans, along with Irish residents in Woodlawn and Breezy Point, criticized the omissions, while the City Council's Italian caucus, composed of Republicans, accused the Democratic administration of erasing their history.
- On Friday night, Mamdani attempted to apologize, stating it was "clear" the map was not an exhaustive list of the city's more than 200 ethnic communities, though the response did little to calm the uproar.
- The Mapgate affair joins another controversy involving speechwriter Julian Gerson, who previously omitted Catholics from a speech about persecuted groups, as critics argue the administration intentionally selects which immigrant stories to celebrate and which to sideline.
