The mayor’s base of progressive Gen Z’ers — many of them transplants from around the country and indoctrinated by leftist college professors — have ventured into ethnic enclaves that once housed New York’s “gorgeous mosaic” of diversity that went back generations. Even fresh immigrants who have s...
