Fresno is what? For people outside of the North American loop?
- alephnerd 3y agoIt's a relatively large and conservative farming town in Central California home to a large Protestant Fundamentalist community, a large Latino farm worker and small business community, and a similarly large Punjabi farmworker and small business community. The only difference between Fresno and Abbotsford is Abbotsford gets snow on occasion.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> a large Latino farm worker and small business community, and a similarly large Punjabi farmworker and small business community. No, the second of those is not “similarly large” to the first, not even in a vague loose approximation kind of way. (Fresno County is majority-Hispanic, with over a third of the population primary Spanish speakers.)
