00:00New York is not today what people think it is.
00:03It's a very different place.
00:05When you have these kinds of contested elections in New York, you have them, and I can go through the periods where you've had highly contested elections, three people on the ballot of major import, in this case you had.
00:17And they tend to indicate that there's an ethnic shift of high proportions in the city.
00:23And this is how you compensate for it, by having these kinds of contested elections.
00:26There's a whole new population that people really haven't dealt with.
00:30We have Chinese people at the rate of about, I guess, 15 to 16 percent of total population now.
00:36There are probably close to 800 to 900,000 Muslims in New York City now, probably another 900,000 people from Africa.
00:43It's a very different city, and its ethnic composition has changed radically in the last 10 years.
