There are thousands of very well educated, very well compensated Germans, Italians, and Japanese working in Metro Detroit, by choice. Detroit is still the global hub of the auto industry, and the presence of high level auto executives, engineers and designers, especially from these three countries, is quite noticable. In fact, apartment rental ads are sometimes in Italian or German.
I assume these folks are able to make a distinction between the 80%-90% of the region that is basically the same as anywhere else in the U.S. They aren't hanging out in the ghettos of Detroit, which have no relevance to their daily lifestyle.
