NYC is a lot like Boston. The Latinos are basically black. There are much tight er communal bonds also because a lot of blacks and latinos up here DO share a culture- we have so many West Indians who might not speak spanish, but eat the same food and have the same cultural beliefs.
It's tight. It REALLY works for me.
