== ATL as an international city/metro == 

 I see material is back that states Atlanta is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the US. While I think Atlanta is an interesting place, and understand the point that "Atlanta is not particularly Southern" except in its historical roots, the numbers do not show that Atlanta has a lot of foreign born residents. The city has 7.8% foreign born as of 2008-2012,"Quick Facts: Atlanta", U.S. Census Bureau which is actually one of the lowest %ages (see this list). 

 As Demographics of Atlanta states: 
 :Metro Atlanta is increasingly international, with its 716,434 foreign-born residents in 2010, a 69% increase versus 2000. This was the fourth largest rate of growth among the nation's top 100 metros, after Baltimore, Orlando and Las Vegas. The foreign-born proportion of the population went up from 10.3% to 13.6%, and Atlanta moved up from 14th to 12th in ranking of US metro areas with the largest immigrant population by sheer numbers. Still, its 13.6% proportion of immigrants is only the 29th highest of the nation's top 100 metros. 

 How can you change the text so that the point is made, without using a statement which factually is not supported by the census numbers?
