I assumed Grant had a level of facetiousness to what he was saying, so I returned in kind (and I didn’t choose Iowa because I thought Grant was from there—it’s where I also lived, and I wanted to provide a contrast to Chicago within the US).
Really, I don’t think anyone can ever generalize about a region. I agree that the African-Americans add a flavour to Chicago that I like (although I don’t like how the train turns from black to white because it’s only another reminder of segregation and gentrification). But in Abbotsford it was Punjabis who added this flavour.
