Yes but Lancaster is like one big Amish themepark

Don’t know why you were downvoted. They literally have Dutch Wonderland. 🤣

Ironically, though, it is a medeival-fantasy themed kids' park... nothing to do with Amish. And situated right next to the only Cartoon Network hotel in the world. Weird place

Umm... No. As a multicultural person raised in Lancaster, I assure you it is not. Lancaster is incredibly diverse and has been one of the most successful counties in the state and has one of the highest immigration rates in the nation.

It is a pretty amazing and vibrant place.

Lancaster county has the highest population of Amish among any county anywhere, that's all I was saying. I never claimed that it wasn't diverse, so I'm not sure why you are trying to argue that.

Although, the funny part is, it's not. Lancaster City sure is diverse, but the county is 80% white whereas the US is only 60% white. This is reflected in the fact that we almost always show up red on voting maps. That's right, I said "we"... I've lived in Lancaster all my life. I love the place but I'm not blind to its shortcomings.

I'm not arguing, homie. I apologize for not specifying, but I was speaking about the city.

Did you think I would be surprised that you said "we" and that I am not all alone in Lancaster? LOl.

Have a good night. Maybe we'll see each other in passing.
