We have them in medium sized towns in Idaho, mostly Asian and Mexican with one Indian around where I am. As a state we have no big cities, at best some medium ones. They're not something special or rare. The various Asian markets are good for cookware and vegetables, the Mexican ones are mostly only good for beans and tortillas, the Indian one has okay spices but if you don't need something that's really Indian food only WinCo is better.

No you don't. You are desperate for external validation of your empty soulless life that you've filled with external culture you can't create on your own. You want them to envy you because you know they never think of you unless you somehow agitate them for attention.
Your endless need for external validation makes their ambivalence towards you into torture. They're quietly living their lives without noticing you exist so you have to invent an unfulfilled need that you project onto them so you can feel superior and gain back a bit of the self worth that their ignoring you destroyed. All of this happens without their participation because it's your mental illness playing out inside your own head in a world you invented there.

There are a bunch.
In fact, I've never been to any state that didn't have them. I'm all for city livin' if that's your thing, but to think that small ethnic grocery stores are exclusive to urban areas just shows your lack of knowledge.

>Polish supermarkets stink and charge you extra for being white
No.
>>20364011
Not Afghan specifically but the Central Asian store I go to for some of my supplies carries Afghan shit. You can tell who's Afghan because they're always quiet since they only speak their own language while the rest are Russianing at each other.
>Bosnian
Again, sort of. Albanian-owned Balkans/Southeastern Euro grocery store. They sell some Bosnian stuff, though it's mostly Bulgarian shit they carry. I've never even met a Bulgarian here.
Do you have any Ethiopian, Ghanaian/Nigerian or Nepalese supermarkets? We do.
Also, an Irish and British one, weirdly, though that's technically in Pennsylvania. Still not in a city, tho!

These places smell absolutely amazing, especially the MENA/Indian variety. I don't care if it's cartel meat or not. I once bought some garlic from a ME store and it said, "made in China" on it. I don't know what they were made of, but they peeled beautifully.
Chinese stores do, however, seem to have an "off" odor to them. Wet market?

You guys are locked downtown in the city and you have very little relief from the crime, hustle and bustle, poor air and blacks/Hispanics. Trash everywhere, people who look dead inside... No thanks. I can do whatever I want on my property, fish, hunt, walk around nude, play games. It's all mine. I have the dream many city folk wish they could have. So have fun coping and say or think whatever you got to to help you through the sad 1984ish life you are living. Good luck.

You can live your life doing whatever you like, just as I can, but I know from my dealings with rurals that us city folk live rent free in their brains and they can't help but be a little jealous of our little window into the world while they're stuck on dad's farm. For some that's a fulfilling life. For many of them, it isn't, and you can sense it when you speak to them or hear them speak of it. I hope you have a good harvest, at least.

Hello Portlander. You cant go into any of those forested areas because you will be robbed and raped by homeless drug addicts who are encamped there in piles of trash and disease. But sure.

I mean if you hate clean towns and low crime sure.

As a bog city urbanites myself the group of people I hate the most isn't flyover it's the urbanite parochials who thinks that merely by living In a city they are some how cultured.

Large US cities are cancer as well. I think the best meal I ever had was in some tiny little greek town on Kefalonia when they had just butchered a piglet and spitroasted it over a fire. Cityfags will never know that feeling.

Mine smells worse than the lion exhibit at the zoo. I only go in there for Samyang noodles and curry blocks. Asians are disgusting.
