cold hard facts... new yorkers just cant "imagine" another place could be more diverse so it must not be huh?
thats all i have read in this thread.
"but...but its NYC nothing beats NYC!" ...yea right the Bay Area owns in scenic/outdoor diversity as well...oh ya we have skyscrapers too and warmer weather in the Bay Area as a whole (do not single out SF on this one)
we already addressed these figures. check the last page.
Yeah Chicagoland doesn't have four states but it's got three [IL,IN,WI]
Which I guess could use the title "Tri-State area" as well..
Actually, I've seen Berrien County in SW MI included in some definitions of Chicagoland, but for the most part it's just WI-IL-IN. I've never heard of it referred to as the Tri-State Area, but I have heard it referred to as Williana.
but...ppl from the bay area talk about having diversity and refer to asians/pacific islanders from "tiny little island countries that no one cares about..." so what is your point??
these "tiny little island countries that no one cares about" are indeed cared about and are a part of what makes up the u.s. and a part of what makes our cities so great, IMHO.
anyway, when ppl refer to the tristate area, 9/10 times they mean ny, nj, ct.
Japan tiny? Philippines? vietnam has 80 + million people.. comapared top PR what 3 or 4 million? hahahaha

Its very insensitive to delegitimize entire groups of people just because you don't personally relate to their contribution and/or place in society.
Hopefully BayAreaNightmare understands your point.

LOL...well, this is about diversity and people from PR and (the) DR are big groups in NYs ethnic landscape. You should check out their restaurants next time your in NYC.

Spoken like a true Tongan. But seriously, I agree with both of you. Why should it matter if you're from a huge country like China or a tiny one like Taiwan, when they're both unique and interesting places?
I didn't know NYC area went into PA until now, it's literally next to the Philly area.
Yes they connect completely - closest point of the NY metro is 10.8 miles from the Philly city line - we get screwed on the population comparisons from the census

Anyone with a brain knows racial diversity is only a part of the equation when determining overall diversity, you're over thinking people's views.
