Yall need to start being mean to people that are mean to YOU. Stop that bigger person shit.. Release your inner bitches or whatever Natasha Bedingfield said!
If you never shopped at Jimmy Jazz, Conway, Pathmark, Modells, or never had a regents test in high school, or a green metro card, you can’t claim you’re from NYC
If you’re a transplant from anywhere in the middle of America you’re not a New Yorker but if you’re an immigrant and came to New York when you were in elementary school you 1000% a New Yorker hope this helps
