====Fuzhounese-Cantonese relations==== The Fuzhou immigration pattern started out in the 1970s, like the Cantonese immigration during the late 1800s to early 1900s that had established Manhattan's Chinatown on Mott Street, Pell Street, and Doyers Street. The immigrants were initially mostly men who later brought their families over. The beginning influx of Fuzhou immigrants arriving during the 1980s and 1990s were entering into a Chinese community that was extremely Cantonese dominated. Due to the Fuzhou immigrants having no legal status and inability to speak Cantonese, many were denied jobs in Chinatown as a result, causing many of them to resort to crimes. There was a lot of Cantonese resentment against Fuzhou immigrants arriving into Chinatown.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/12/nyregion/neighborhood-report-chinatown-latest-wave-of-immigrants-is-splitting-chinatown.html |work=The New York Times |first=Jane H. |last=Lii |title=Neighborhood Report: Chinatown; Latest Wave of Immigrants Is Splitting Chinatown |date=June 12, 1994 |access-date=February 6, 2017 |archive-date=December 6, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161206191904/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/12/nyregion/neighborhood-report-chinatown-latest-wave-of-immigrants-is-splitting-chinatown.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="RosenbergDunford2011">{{cite book |author1=Andrew Rosenberg |author2=Martin Dunford |title=The Rough Guide to New York |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mZ0z8ZSwQ-sC&pg=PA81 |access-date=July 25, 2012 |date=January 1, 2011 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-1-4053-8565-7 |pages=81β}}</ref><ref name="KyleKoslowski2001">{{cite book |author1=David Kyle |author2=Rey Koslowski |title=Global Human Smuggling: Comparative Perspectives |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5blzwmEvZG4C&pg=PA236 |access-date=July 25, 2012 |date=May 11, 2001 |publisher=JHU Press |isbn=978-0-8018-6590-9 |pages=236β |archive-date=March 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314172459/https://books.google.com/books?id=5blzwmEvZG4C&pg=PA236#v=onepage&q&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Guest2003">{{cite book |author=Kenneth J.
