His wording is so innacurate, it leaves room for misunderstanding.
Same thing with the claim Toronto has very few Latin Americans and Chicago has a lot.
The reality is Chicago has a Larger number of Latin Americans than Toronto, but if you look closer it is just vastly overwhelmingly Mexicans. It is rather rare to find anyone from south America or the West Indies in Chicago.
Toronto has far more Latin Americans than Chicago.
There are vibrant communities of Brazilians, Argentines, Chileans, Paraguayans, West Indies people, Panamenians in Toronto, that do not exist in Chicago. But in his mind many Mexicans means tons of latin Americans.
Sort of as if I were to claim that there are more Europeans in my house than in the neighbors house, because the are 200 Europeans here versus 45 europeans there.
Yet those 200 people in my house come exclusively from Albania, while the 45 euopeans next door coome from the 45 different european counties hence all of Europe is represented there, not here.
His wording lacks the inclusion of variables, thus he gets confusing to understand, and then if you try to correct him he gets defensive.
Says the expert. lol To try to some how down play or just throw aside the Mexican and Puerto Ricn community in Chicago is stupidity.

That doesn't look much anything like Southern California. Very pretty though.
Yep. Looks like something out of England or France. To be fair though, only the inner suburbs have that quaint "Victorian" look. Outside in the suburbs, Sydney will gradually start to look more like Southern California.
I know. I was being a little mordant, to show off how 'diverse' Sydney can be architecturally. Because it's not all akin to Southern California, as what people here make it out to be. But yeah, a fair share of Sydney, namely the western suburbs, is more similar to SoCal.
The suburban Sydney area that the other poster think looks like California looks more like the American South to me.
On the other hand the area of Brisbane that you show that you think looks like the American South makes me think of Hawaii rather.
