I need to visit someday.

It looks a lot safer than my downtown area at night! Almost everything is closed at night except the bars and clubs.

that shit is all over social media.

Even when actual white europeans who are actually living in those places tell them that things aren't like how they are claiming they get angry .

These are mostly incel types .

They're only comfortable in a bland homogenous environment, thus tend to view cities and diversity as terrifying.

Of course, cities are also where all of the dynamic and attractive people live - which also explains RW fixation (jealousy) on cities.

We even walked through Central Park (daytime) and observed a BLM group gathering. All young and attractive people. The scariest part of our trip was getting on the hotel elevator from our room on the 9th floor and it stopping at the 7th floor where an unmasked, shady looking white guy got on. He broke 2 rules: no more than 2 unrelated people on elevator at a time and WEAR A MASK in all common areas!
