Dearborn isn't Detroit. I don't know why y'all are upset about this.

I mean, I do, being from Detroit myself. I just don't know why you got this twisted.

Also from Detroit. Dearborn is in Metro Detroit. I don’t know anyone who would nitpick this.

That's a poor comparison because Brooklyn actually is a part of New York City, but I agree with your point.
