Ok, Vlady, I'll bite. Let's start with the claim that I made a factual error in writing that Oradea was majority Hungarian speakers up into the 1960's .Here is the census data for you from Wikipedia:
1912 census 64,169 36.4% 5.6% 91%
1930 census 82,687 28.8% 27.1% 51.5%
1948 census 82,282 −0.4% 32.8% 63.8%
1956 census 98,950 20.2% 35.9% 59%
1966 census 122,534 23.8% 46% 51.3%
1977 census 170,531 39.1% 53.9% 44%
1992 census 222,741 30.6% 64.7% 33.3%
2002 census 206,614 −7.2% 70.3% 27.5%
2011 census 183,123 −11.3% 72.6% 24.5%
So as you can see, as of the 1966 census, Oradea was 51.3% Hungarian.
Regarding your other complaints. This is a snapshot-in-time story about two guys taking a long weekend road trip. These are observations of what I saw and my friend Ian can vouch for all of it. Poverty, gypsy settlements, prostitutes, homes with no setbacks- we saw all of it on both sides of the border.
