I live in North East Massachusetts. Lots of Dominicans.

In New Jersey, we have more Indians than any other state.
We have more Filipinos than anywhere outside of the Pacific. Same for Koreans.
We have the largest Cuban population outside of Cuba and Florida.
We have the most Costa Ricans anywhere outside of Costa Rica.
We have one of the largest Italian populations in the country. (Italians are the largest ethnic group in the state)
We have both the second-largest Jewish population and the second-largest Muslim population in the country.

To say New Jersey is Jersey Shore is beyond ridiculous. We're more diverse than just about anywhere in the United States.

New Jersey has a large population of Puerto Ricans at 400,000+,

You also have small minorities such as Pacific Islanders and Native American, Eskimos, Aluets population(20,000+) and Colombians and Dominicans are also present.

Africans is estimated 1.3 million....

[TheLucyLee]

Dam filipinos everywhere. UAE, Singapore, London, LA, Las Vegas, Korea dam we are taking over the world.

Ethnic make-up of Rotterdam

Figures are from 2008:

* Total: 582,949
* Dutch: 313,765
* Surinamese: 51,885
* Turkish: 45,699
* Moroccan: 37,476
* Antillean / Aruban: 19,562
* Other EU: 32,134 (mainly from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania)
* Other: 67,457 (mainly Yugoslav, Chinese, Horners and Latino's)

In 2010 the number of people with a non-Dutch background exceeded the autochtonous Dutch population, which made the Dutch a minority in Rotterdam.

There is also a large population of Dominicans in New Jersey. Almost 200,000 DR's live in the state. Some counties have more Dominicans than others of course.

I don't have the exact number of Finland-Swedes or Finnish Romani in my region, because statistics are only available by nationality, language, and country of birth. Judging from the above figures, there aren't more than 0.3% Finland-Swedes here. I have no idea what the number of Romani are, but there are fewer Romani here than Swedish speakers, I think.

[arcaniagainee]

Copenhagen:
Copenhagen is around 22% non-Danish, which I suppose are the minorities here.
There isn't one single dominant group, instead a lot of small immigrant groups. The majority of immigrants are non-western, around 3/4.

Turkish (who might be Kurds, they’re called Turkish if they’re from Turkey), various Arabs (many are Palestinians, and the group includes North Africans), Iranians ( who might be Kurds too), Pakistanis, Bosnians and Serbs, Somali, Greenlanders, Icelanders, Faeroese, Filipino (not sure how many, and some of them are only here temporarily), Thai, Swedes & Norwegians and I guess the Dutch farmers on the island of Amager could be included, but they're largely assimilated. There are also some Africans and other groups, but they're relatively few.

The most notable are Turkish/Arab/Pakistani, who are considered pretty much the same by us (Aka ME, Muslims) and they are the ones who have media prominence, the other groups are rarely mentioned at all. It also depend on the specific area.

There is a tendency of ME people to settle in the same areas, so no matter which kind of ME you are, you associate with other people from all over the Middle East and related countries. I think there’s a ME subculture emerging which is nondescript ME, who use a sort of pidgin Danish that includes a lot of mainly Arab words. In fact, by the main population they’re regarded as the same thing, and as such, they’re the most notable minority group, a non-specific ME.

58.8% of the population speaks English only, the top 10 other languages are Italian, Greek, Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Tagalog, Turkish andHindi.

[IRMartin]

In my area there's also religious groups like Mennonites, Hutterites and Doukhobors...

[jesyflowers]

Umm Peruvians/Bolivians... but they're always in the City Centre so I never see them.

Argentines too, but they're 'diluted' among Chileans.. you don't know it's an Argentine until s/he talks

And then Ecuadorians, Colombians, Brazilians and Caribbeans, who are mostly Black people who work in bars, clubs or dancing at some places..

Yeah, Edison has the largest Indian percentage of anywhere in the U.S. Plainsboro (near me) is right behind them, and then Piscataway and South Brunswick. They're taking over Central Jersey.

Poland 52,125
Sweden 31,193
Pakistan 31,061
Iraq 26,374
Somalia 25,496
Germany 22,859

The number of immigrants in Norway and children of two immigrant parents is currently approximately 552,000 combined, which corresponds to 11.4% of the total population (2010).[1] In addition to these, 206,627 are born in Norway with one immigrant parent, 30,766 are born abroad with one Norwegian parent, and 36,688 are born abroad to Norwegian parents (including adopted children). In 2009, the Norwegian net migration rate was at 43346.[11] Of the total 552,000 with immigrant background, 232,000 have Norwegian citizenship (42.1%).[3][4] The cities or municipalities with the highest share of immigrants are Oslo (27%) and Drammen (22%).[12]

Dominicans.
There are also Cubanas, Mexicans, Peruans, and many other Latin American people, but they are a very few of them and don't "Make much noise" as Dominicans.

I think my metro area alone(Los Angeles), got new jersey beat.

Lets see

Mexicans
Central Americans
Armenians
Persians
Russians
Brit expats
Jews
Vietnamese
Koreans
Chinese
Japanese
Filipinos
Indians
Pakistanis
Afghans
Cambodians
Samoans
Tongans
Aframs
Belizeans
Brazilians
Nigerians
Ghanians
Ethiopians


There is a lack of Caribbean Latinos(PR's, Dominicans) that are more common in the northeaast
