This is my point exactly. They act as if Cleveland is a premier urban city when in reality it's very average. I sense they must have not traveled much.
Also the city is just a little more than 85% black and white, with Latinos just 10% and Asians at 2% yet it's such an ethnic city according to a poster. Give me a break, Milwaukee has more diversity than Cleveland for crying out loud.
Again, you just don't get it. Cleveland's diversity is mostly its unique and strong European communities. We are not an assimilated group of generic White Americans, we are a city where people hold their ethnic identity with pride.
Also you don't seem to get the fact that we have some of the best arts and culture, as well as dining in the country, without the crowds and prices.

They hold onto their ethnic identity no more than any other rust belt/northeast city. Cleveland thinks it's so unique but it's not.

Is that why we have tons of ethnic festivals every year, why the Croatians live together, the Hungarians live together, the Jews live together, the Slovenians live together, the Italians live together, the poles live together, etc? Is that why there are still Hungarian, Slovenian, Italian, Croatian, and Irish churches? Why polka, bratwurst, and Pierogies are such a big part of our identity?

Oh totally. In Chicago we just have white people so I must be wrong on Cleveland after all. There are no polish people, Russians, Ukrainians, Serbians, Greek, Italian or any other European identities in Chicago. I mean Wow they have us beat, I will now worship Cleveland and its epic diversity!

That's the problem though, you think that's unique to just Clebeland?! Chicago has the second most Polish city in the world after Warsaw. And don't get me started on our ethnic festivals....

Poles are all over the Midwest. Slovenians, Croatians, and Hungarians are unique to Cleveland's culture. They each have the largest population of that ethnicity outside of their countries, except Hungarians which are second to NYC.

Ethnic festivals and ethnic food... not unique to Cleveland.

LOL And Cleveland thinks it's original because of Slovaks, Hungarians and Croatians. LOL these ethnicities are tiny minorities. And Pittsburgh is more Slovak than Cleveland and PA is more Croatian than OH. Cleveland wins on Hungarians. But this is a game we could play with tons of cities. For example, Providence and the Portuguese. Omaha and the Czechs. Grand Rapids and the Dutch. MPLS and Nordic people.
Whoop dee doo Cleveland.
