I think anywhere that the bands all stop through, has a bunch of interesting neighborhoods and a solid music scene, cares if people are actually racist and phobic in public and doesn't have filthy industry smells, I think I could tolerate that

oh and they have to have a subway
and bikelanes

[Howie Roary]

This is Minnesota in a nutshell, cept no subway but we have a light rail. And bad religion doesn't come here anymore

yeah but don't you guys talk funny? Toronto has a distinct lack of accent for the most part, unless you already have one from another country

[Howie Roary]

Well, at least downtown and suburbs. Once you get into the sticks all bets are off.

we has that too

[Howie Roary]

weird, I have this view of Americans and I definitely did not expect anyone to even know what hmong is. I figured you guys thought every asian was chinese, korean, or japanese (and the last 2 are generous)

realistically a large % know of vietnam but I sincerely doubt that in a room full of koreans, chinese, and vietnamese that they would be able identify each correctly

[Shiroikage]

people know about hmong cuz of gran torino

[Howie Roary]

fair enough I guess

[Shiroikage]

Hmong was actually the only other race in the town I grew up in that wasn't white. And gran torino was written by a Minnesota guy.

had to wiki whether the honourable clint eastwood was from minnesota

drowning in blanket statement irony

that's a fair point, but I do await to be proven wrong

america is big, it depends on the geographic area and population density.
