I always find it interesting when a city has a particular immigrant community based there, lending an extra bit of identity. This can be good, if you are into their restaurants and their chicas, or it can be bad if you dont find their food tasty or their culture is a big sausagefest. Which city has the immigrant community with the best food and the most freely available bebes? Talk up your town, goons!

Do they have good restaurants? Maybe an Ashurbanipal Day celebration when everyone dressed up in their best Bronze Age gear?

I live in the United States, nearly everyone including myself is an immigrant building communities upon the ashes of the largest genocide in human history. The food is pretty good.

Fresno has Hmong people, apparently, because a Homg leader told them all to move to Fresno. Bakersfield has Coptic Egyptians, who are kinda hot I think? And tons of Basques, which is weird because I think Basques are a seafaring people. Sacramento is "the most diverse and integrated" city in America so maybe it has everybody. San Diego has a big section of Filipinos in North County and Tagalog is on election ballots there

My small rural town in Ireland has a large Polish/Lithuanian population. There's a few little shops which sell cabbage rolls, bread, cheese, and pirogi and they've been around for a few years and have settled down and they send their kids to the local schools and so on.  I adore Poland, and Polish people. I have no idea why. I find their entire culture absolutely lovely and Irish people actually really like their little Polish enclaves.

Nooner posted:sac town is a toilet It seems pretty nice? Good climate, good university, young population, two big, swimmable rivers, really close to Tahoe and Yosemite, nice architecture left over from the gold rush boom. If it were in any other state, it would probably be the state's best city.

Actually there's a little 'We sell everything' shop run by a nice little Iranian man and his daughter and they're always very helpful and they point out things which are on special and they know a good deal when they see one. He sits in the back office with his brother and plays some sort of board game all day long and drinks hot tea and it's also very

America always has had a hardon for Ireland, I know, but this spike is pretty noticeable in recent years. Which is weird as well considering that Ireland is, economically, not doing too great. Although in fairness Google, Yahoo, Dell, Intel, and a lot of other companies have their European HQ's in Ireland for tax reasons so thats probably an attractive feature.

I was down for it, and it was a nice pub, but the waiter was like 'Would you guys like some Green Beer in celebration of St. Patricks weekend!', and being the prick that I am I was like, 'No, and honestly we don't do that back home.', and this dude took to flipping his poo poo about how IRISH PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY DO PUT GREEN DYE IN THEIR BEER ON PATRICKS WEEKEND and I was like 'I'M FROM WICKLOW(Ireland). WE DON'T PUT GREEN poo poo IN OUR BEER.', and he got all pissy about it and was like 'Well I'm fairly sure you do.' I let it go at that, but I basically sat there in quiet indignation for the rest of the night with 'Did this nigga really try to tell me about where I live' running through my head for the whole night. I think I got drunk on whiskey and apple juice later and we went to Harveys for some lovely burgers at 1am. I dunno.
