People are going to start asking for evidence if you make that blanket claim.

Or we could go with Houston since it's the most populous city in the South.

That's like counting up record sales for an artist.

Le sigh. Calm down Texan. It was a joke.

No need for you to come in and display your fangs.

That's a poor analogy and it meets virtually the criteria the OP listed.

You will find most elements of "Brazil" (but not all) in Sao Paulo, similar to how you will find many elements of the South (but not all) in Atlanta.
São Paulo? The metro with 21+ million, largest economy and city in the Southern Hemisphere & largest city in all of the America’s? One of the largest cities in the world with the worlds largest Japanese, Arab ad Italian populations in the world (outside their countries)???


That’s a big stretch, I don’t see the resemblance. I’ve been to São Paulo plenty. Also ATL. If anything, Salvador would actually be a better comparison IMO. I mean. For a Brazilian city.

Wouldn't say it's Sao Paulo, but yes, I think Atlanta is the southern capital.
