Americans, as far as I can tell, view Detroit with what strikes me as hostility almost. You don't have to go far to find Canadians who view Detroit as a North American Mogadishu. Such an opinion has a strong correlation with racism, it's worth noting: Detroit must be the perilous worst because it is held to represent black America. As to the "never actually visited", do you claim that most, or even a remote minority of Americans have "actually ever visited Detroit"? Of course they haven't. They laugh and point and repost and share the ruin porn because, ha ha, look at Detroit. In any case, it was a pretty bizarre claim to use in response to my post given that I expressly said that I go to Detroit almost regularly. Indeed, "Canadians" in Southern Ontario almost certainly know more about Detroit than the bulk of Americans, for obvious geographical and practicality reasons. Now maybe I'm not going to the "real" Detroit in some people's opinion, in that I am in built up urban areas and affluent suburbs, but it is a part of the whole of Detroit.
