As I was just explaining to another poster here, Minneapolis has the largest Hmong population in the country, perhaps the largest outside of southeast Asia. We have a large and growing Somali population. I live near a predominantly Mexican neighborhood. This poster then explained to me that we also have the largest population of some Ethiopian subgroup outside of Ethiopia, but I cannot recall the name of it. Perhaps she can assist. I am sure we pale, sts, in comparison to the vibrant melting pot of multiculturalism that is Detroit, but Minneapolis is not as lily white as you might think.
Also, if you look at this pic,

The guy in the red hair wearing the tiny white briefs and little else and who appears to have a rainbow flag as a cape is Asian. It is not so clear from the picture, but I see him at the club all the time.
