Talk:Ethnic groups in Baltimore

Very Diverse?!

Is it possible that Baltimore is one the more diverse cities in the United States or, at least on the East Coast. While New York City is the most diverse city in the world, With around 200 ethnic groups! Baltimore may well be a strong competition for the City that Never Sleeps Four Leaf Paladin (talk) 23:43, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Depends on your definition of diverse. Baltimore has been called the New York of the South because of its diverse cultural and immigrant populations. That said, it's nothing as diverse as New York City where you can hear 100 different languages on one block or even as diverse as Washington, D.C. and the DC suburbs (which are highly international and cosmopolitan), whereas in Baltimore most people are either black or white (with a small sprinkling of Latinos and Asians). I'd say that Baltimore has a greater diversity of white people (Lithuanians, Poles, Greeks, Russian-Jews, Irish, etc.), whereas the DC area has a greater diversity of black people (Ethiopians, Caribbeans, African-Americans, Nigerians, etc).

Arab and Chinese-owned stores during Baltimore riots

I had previously added sourced information to the article about the allegation that the Bloods gang directed rioters to vandalize and loot Arab and Chinese-owned stores instead of Black-owned stores. Another editor has repeatedly removed this content, despite the fact that I sourced it. Similar information is included in the article on the 2015 Baltimore protests. Why is the information okay for that article but not this one? I am not sure how to handle this issue, so I reverted the edits and adding the term "allegedly". Does anyone have suggestions as to how this issue should be resolved? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 18:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Antisemitism

I have noticed a troubling pattern on this page of editors changing sections of the article that deal with Jews of European descent. Some editors seem to believe that Jews of European descent should not at all be discussed as people of European descent, that they are simply Jewish. So, for example, sentences about Russian Jews have been deleted from the Russian-American subsection on the basis that "Jews are not Russians". When Russian-born American Jews have been referred to as "Russian immigrants", editors have changed it to read "Russian citizens" (which is inaccurate, since most Russian Jews in Baltimore are citizens of the United States) or "immigrants from Russia", with the implication that Jews cannot be Russians or Russian-Americans. Obviously, not all Russian-born American Jews/American Jews of Russian descent identify as "Russian" or "Russian-American", however many American Jews do identify with their Russian heritage. This seems very Othering and reductive to me to declare that Jews cannot identify with the cultures that they were born into or their ancestors lived in, and it smacks of white-supremacist and racial-purist arguments that "Jews aren't white" (Note: Yes, many Jews aren't white and do not identify as white, but some Jews are/do). It seems fine to me for the articles to note the difference between ethnic Russian gentiles (or ethnic Russian Christians in particular) and Russian Jews, but that difference can be noted without resorting to language that depicts Jews as foreigners, whether as foreign to the country (referring to Jews with American citizenship as "Russian citizens") or as cultural and racial others who cannot be Russian or any other kind of European.

So what's the fourth largest european ethnicity??

The article states that among the european-american ethnic groups, the three largest are Germans, Irish and English, while the fifth largest is Polish? So which one is the fourth?? I don't know why the text doesn't say. I also genuinely don't know the answer. TheEsb (talk) 16:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Conflicting Information

The Nigerian section says that Yoruba is the 3 most spoken language in Baltimore, but the Chinese section says that Chinese is the 2nd most spoken non-English language. Nevermind, it says that Chinese was the 2nd most spoken non-English language. Got it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Ly Vietnam (talk • contribs) 00:13, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
