This is self explanatory. Whats the most attractive city between the two? Durham, or Baton Rouge?

Durham, NC
Moderate crime rate. majorly black. highest creative class and IQ index in the country. Relatively same population as baton rouge,


baton rouge,la

Moderately high crime rate. Heavily dependent on New Orleans. However, attractive city. Very suburban in feel. ranked one of the top places to ride out a recession along with durham.

Your definition of a ghetto is a majority black city. You are very ignorant and this thread is anything but amusing.

I thought that was the definition of the word? ghetto....look it up. However, there are jewish ghettos and hispanic as well.

I hate PC.

[baby420]

just answer the question. Which is the most attractive?

[LovinDecatur]

My personal favorite is Durham; however, like others I find the moniker 'ghetto cities' highly inaccurate in these cases, not to mention offensive.
In addition, I don't think it is fair to say that Baton Rouge is 'heavily dependent on New Orleans'; as it is the capital of LA and home to the state's university, it's pretty clear to me that it stands on its' own.

but they are majority black. no offensive. a ghetto is a area inhabited by a ethnic group.
