All this Minnesota talk yet no one voted Minnesota.
Virginia is a solid one but having known Virginia fairly well over the years its change didn’t seem to be on the levels of these states. I can tell it has changed a seismically from the 1960s and 1970s but from 1989?-I have no idea what it was like then and have to take your word for it.

That’s because Minnesota’s demographic change isn’t near what some of the others are.
Agreed. That is the purpose of this thread. For people who actually know demography in their state or other states to chime in. I think its fair to say though that for most areas general impression from still hold somewhat true-the places ive specifically outlined are the exceptions.
In your NYC example yes theres been a ton more Mexican and central american influx into NY since 2000 but I would still say culturally and numerically Puerto Ricans and Dominicans still dominate-albeit not as much as they once did.
Places like North Carolina, South Florida, Minnesota ect. have gone through some deeper changes IMHO
Mexicans/Ecuadorians are catching up to PR/DR quick.
In PR strongholds like Bushwick, I see (presumably) Mexican families everywhere and there seem to be way more places to get Mexican food than PR/DR food. Mexicans seem to have more kids too, even the 2nd generation.
I get the sense NoVa had shed a lot of its southernness by 1989 but hadn’t gotten all the international immigrants and that cosmopolitan feel. I feel like in 1989 it wa still just sort of a refuge for white people working in DC but scared of DC. Maybe many of them were from the north.

I'll stop, but while many of these places are Twin Cities suburbs, some of these places on the list are actually standalone places outside of that metro area. It is interesting to see the difference from 1980 to 2010, with changes occurring at a quick pace even since 2010. So, many of these places changed drastically within 30-40 years.

Problem with this is for less diverse States like Rhode Island Minnesota the 2010 data isn't recent enough. More demographic change has occurred since 2000 in those states than in the 1980s and 1990s.
Minneapolis is 60% white/40% non white. Is that still too white for you?
Thats very white for a major city circa 2019. But not too white-Id only say Seattle and Portland are "too white" for most POC to be able to feel comfortable. Sounds harsh and prejudiced but i think it holds true for the most part.

That is the point, as you can see the differences demographically from 1980-2010, let alone the changes since 2010. So, it puts the changes into perspective.
