white expat kids in Asia typically turn out very badly and entitled

Could you expand on this and why it particularly affects the white population?

I never thought I'd see a Pro/Con for NYC with "friendlier" in the Pro column, but I suppose it makes sense from an international perspective (NYC is routinely rated the least friendly city in the US).

Best:

Helena, Montana

I had a loft in the small downtown area which was sweet and the businesses threw tons of events. Free parking and rent was under $500.

Worst

Terre Haute, Indiana.

Steve Martin was right. Aside from college basketball it was a pretty boring place.

I really liked it, cheap, friendly citizens.

It was small, but if you weren't picky about what there was usually something happening if the weather was at least ok. The buildings and old homes were pretty nice, in the copper kings era it was a very wealthy place.

Winters sucked, but the other months were very pleasant.

It seemed like a good place to raise kids, probably less so if their interests are very specialized.
