From my perspective, Minneapolis lost a good bit of its shine after Floyd's death and the protests/riots that occurred in the aftermath. Its image wasn't truly reflective of the reality on the ground apparently. I may be biased somewhat but it didn't seem as though the images of Charlotte nor Atlanta suffered in the same way after similar incidents in 2016 (unrest over shooting of Keith Scott) and 2020 (Jacob Blake) respectively.
And yet, Atlanta's crime rate is much higher than Mpls.
Well say hello to Charlotte. Keep it on Minneapolis vs Atlanta. Charlotte knows Appalachia too. I do also ny my home region now. Appalachia PA. Where a Conservative politics pundit once penned PA between Philly and Pitts as Pennsyltucky. Instead of being just red politically meant ... it took on a meaning of rednecks and mountain folk.
No one from Minneapolis even cares if you see them as inferior. They need to debate no one. See their city commented on they are not here in a need to boast or label. Some cities in a game mean it is no game of opinions. It becomes a dare.
Again, there is a 2 cities mash-up (3 if a metro... cause of St Paul is metro MSP). It is not Just a Minneapolis vs mighty Atlanta.

Mpls City & Metro are much less diverse, have much lower visitor numbers and a smaller underclass than Atlanta. Metro Atlanta is also twice the size of the Twin Cities.

No offense, but "diversity" is not in the OP criteria. IMO.... this claim of more immigrants from Belize to Chile to Madagascar to Finland gets old.
Sure if a key topic. Here it is not. Just so many cities are very diverse today and some many suburbs. Just this card can get over-played. Then there is being a mecca.
"Guess every cards a winner (for a certain city) .... and every hand is a looser" ....
At least that is what the 80s Country and Pop song -The Gambler by Kenny Rogers has a key sentence on....
MSP can be a mecca of its own region not dependent of boasting on one race or every ethnic group having a neighborhood. It clearly has some it can boast of. Just not in the criteria for the thread.
One thing it can share with the Atlanta region - is a tree-canopy and literal forested parkland in both twin cities. Charlotte no slouch at all either.
Why is Charlotte again TOTALLY LEFT OUT?
Minneapolis also gets mashed-up. with Charlotte. Even the skylines. If you want to use metros? Ya Gotta add St Paul too.

Minny and Charlotte..... could be a Disney title.
Most of ATL's diversity comes from the fact that it's in the Deep South and has a high black population. That's not unique to ATL that's typical of the deep south. Mpls's immigrant diversity is more visible imo. ATL doesn't have any walkable ethnic enclaves like Mpls does.
By definition an HBCU must be established prior to (I think) 1964.
Correct. Minneapolis still has none.
