Just know that the answers you get here will be colored by biases. That’s going to be the case whoever you go to, but Reddit is particularly awful in general when it comes to discussions that the general demographic can’t relate to.

This article approaches it a lot more even handedly than you’ll find in this sub.

I was amazed by how easy getting around the city is now thanks to iPhone. Gone are the days of fighting with my wife about going down the wrong subway portal, so much nicer. I was so happy with everything when we were in the city for a wedding in September, going back with my 6 and 8yo girls and excited to show them all the hustle and bustle of the big city. Amazingly, I had not a single pice of pizza or bagel, so I must return and correct this mistake!

No, New York is 31% European White, 29% Hispanic, 20% Black, 14% Asian. Toronto is 44% European White, 37% Asian, 10% Black, 3% Hispanic.

81% of Toronto is White or Asian. That doesn’t scream super diverse to me.

Diverse would be Queens: 28% Hispanic, 26% Asian, 24% European White, 16% Black.

You see people cleaning the streets every morning and your inference is that they must have been covered in piss and shit, like the fact they’re cleaning the streets daily is a bad thing? Or you’re telling me you literally see multiple turds being flushed away each morning? We need a crew to powerwash out the bullshit you’re spewing lol

I'm glad you went to Prince Street Pizza. I'm across the river in Hoboken and go into the city about every couple of months just to eat there and get two pepperoni slices from them. Also the cupcake place across the street from there makes for a nice dessert.

> They’re largely Asian and White.

I’m not going to argue that Toronto is more diverse. I think the UN seals the deal for NYC. But this is a weird statement to make. Toronto is less white than NYC, and “Asian” over simplifies a diverse group, which includes 14% South Asian (Indian, Pakistan, etc), 10% Chinese, 6% Filipino, 2.5% West Asian (ie middle eastern), 2% Southeast Asian, 1.5% Japanese, and 1.5% Arab.

My go-to metric is language. There are 700 spoken in NYC. Toronto is 200, and London is 250. (All approximate)

Thank you, the Park Rangers there on my visit were really friendly and proud of its history. I can see why some people wouldn't enjoy it, personally I'm interested in architecture so it was up my street. The museum was really fascinating. Thanks for posting that out, my view was actually based off the left hand side window as you finish climbing the stairs and enter the platform, but that's good to know! I actually based it off one of the photos I took on my visit. It was windy enough on my visit, can't imagine what the torch would be like!

how is it important for the defense for statements for someone not even present at the crime/incident? seriously running circles...its only important bc they can claim failure to dot the I to toss entire case.

again...something like this shouldn't toss the entire case since entire prosecution not based on it. let it go to trial, let the jury decide? whats the fear? you get your day in court same with the people vs tossing things on technicality. just don't allow it as evidence against the accused...that's the fair approach. but nope...dolts like you think otherwise

Self-flagellation? Oh, you think I’m white and that somehow talking about a fact that has existed in this country for centuries is somehow beating up white people? Let me guess, you’re the type of person that would support removing race from teaching the history of slavery and civil rights in the US.
