In America:

South Side Chicago -

-Tons of whitesox fans.
-Racially diverse schools, my highschool was 50% Black, 25% White, 15% Latino, 5% European, 5% Asian

I live about 10 minutes away from the really bad ghetto, where you are bound to get shot and mugged at night, or even during the day. I'm about 30-40 minutes away from Downtown Chicago tho, depending on the traffic, I just take Cicero Ave North to I-55 and head to Lake Shore Drive. The only Under-21 club around my place is Zero Gravity, which is a Polak club, but some Lithuanians go there. Its okay when you go in for free, other than that it sucks.

In Lithuania:

Kaunas -

-Lots of violence
-No significant racial diversity. 90% White (Lithuanian), 5% Arab (Kazakstan, Armenia, etc. immigrants), 5% Asian Immigrant. Maybe a total of 10 black students from France or England total in the whole country.

I grew up near the Nemunas River in Kaunas, which is the largest city in Lithuania. The crime rate and violence there is double than that of even the worst ghettos of America. Park your car in the wrong neighborhood, you wont even see it stripped and on cinderblocks, it will be gone. There are 5th graders in gangs. Cops are corrupt, slip em a bribe and they will let you get away with murder. Other than that, it is a very clean city, has very good historical sites. There is the Kaunas Castle that has stood since medieval times. Overall it isnt a vacation spot, but it is livable.

Here is a shot of Kaunas from the river Nemunas.
