Omg...this. So true. I’m so glad someone finally said it and wrote it. Particularly for Nashville and the others. Not so much for Raleigh (which is why it is pro’ly near the very bottom of the list).
So unless youre Black or White, your American experience doesnt matter? How insulting to the rest of us.
You single out Raleigh as the example of diversity in this list? Really? I can't help but laugh at that horrendously inaccurate observation.
What? ... Just because a city has been present does not mean its not up and coming. Nashville is growing like crazy and has a new 775ft tower through the pipeline now. Its kindof a big deal... New Bedford MA has been there since the late 1600s but has a ton of projects going through the town. Its up and coming and changing fast...
Sounds exciting.
Let me know when they pass Tulsa and Sioux Falls in population density.

Please, travel some time.
Raleigh was singled out as the city that's probably drawing a more diverse array of transplants, or at least more Black folks.
Honestly I'm getting a bit tired of that line myself, and I'm Black and I love Black culture. It's a numbers game and White people are still the majority in the U.S. It's as easy as that because this list is looking at rates of change. If it were looking at raw numbers, you'd obviously see this list dominated by major metros that attract more diverse transplants.

Being disingenuous again. Neither of those cities are consolidated with their respective counties and are rather small in land area. Can hardly compare at all. If you've actually been to Nashville or had some working knowledge of the city you wouldn't make such asinine statements.

I genuinely wonder what people's reasons are for this type of trolling and the strong bias that animates it.

Good question. I have a hunch it's because Nashville is fairly new to the limelight of growing sunbelt cities and folks from more established cities see it as another easy target to disparage. Been on these forums a while and have seen unjust biases primarily against southern cities. Mostly due to ignorance or just out right jealousy. I guess it's just Nashville's turn.

I've seen that too but when the trolling/bashing is masked as objective criticism, it just seems to take more effort.

Nashville is definitely seeing some impressive growth. I'm not sure that tower will get built, it's been over a year now since the developer released information about it and nothing has moved forward in the development. They haven't even been able to acquire the land yet for the tower. So a new 750' tower may not be in the near future for Nashville. Maybe some other proposals will pop up that have some significant height.
Change is good AND bad. Change brings both. It's not one or the other.
