I don’t think this culture comes from NY. It comes from California, from Hollywood. The other problem comes from universities that are spread out across the country.
Many NY’ers are quite poor. They vote (D) because they want the govt goodies. Many are immigrants and speak many languages. I chuckle when I see complaints from people about government forms in both English and Spanish. Only Spanish? I wish! Here in NYC we have to deal with not just Spanish but also Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic and Haitian!
Well I did say NY and California.
But remember the trend setters jet between the two. The entertainment and advertising industries are based in the two cities of NYC and Los Angeles (Hollywood). These two cities lead the cultural revolution by way of entertainment and advertising.
