Multicultural areas (Raleigh, Cary: neighborhood, restaurants, sushi)

[ibeg4sushi]

Does anyone know about the cities/areas which have the strongest multi-culural areas? I'm gonna go ahead and guess right out that there's no Chinatown per say, but are there areas which are more "world ethnic"?

Aren't "Chinatowns" within a city the opposite of "multi-cultural"? More like a single culture grouping themselves into a single area?

There are people from around the world here, but there is no one neighborhood around whom a single world ethnicity or culture is dominant. Everyone is kind of spread out.

If this question is related to food, there are Asian and other ethnic markets here and there ... again, everything is spread out.

I think it'll take a while for a notable Asian Pacific or Indian or North African community to take root. It'll happen in the decades to come, just not right now.

Nothing like what you see in big cities, but at times you do seen trends of tons of related businesses and other facilities opening in similar areas. For instance many businesses, restaurants, and other establishments catering to folks from India seem to be concentrated in Southwest Raleigh and Northeastern Cary areas from what I've seen. Why? Probably a few started and others just followed.
