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.
States that already have had more diversity will show greater changes in that time period compared to less diverse states that saw very little change in the 1980s. Thats part of why i framed it from 1990 forward. Stlil really good data!
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.
You missed the point. No one said it hadn’t changed at all. Rather, if you compare it to a place like Texas or California, it hasn’t moved nearly as much.

It may come down to where these states are starting from. Texas and California have had many areas that were quite diverse, including Hispanics, for a long time. So, the changes aren’t as surprising for those 2 states, all things considered.

That’s kinda my angle. If you were diverse and integrated in the 1990s compared to everywhere else it’s not that surprising that continued. For me places with very minimal diversity like MA RI MN that now have sizable and significant diversity and majority minority areas (MA RI) is more impressive because no one could have seen it.
Central/South America, Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, North Africa, East Africa, and the rest of Asia yes. With sprinkles of Caribbean and Europeans as well.
I've noticed of the Europeans who have migrated to NoVa in recent years/decades are increasingly Eastern European (Especially Bosnians, Albanians, Armenians, Romanians and obviously Russians). I feel like the Albanians and Romanians in this area mostly reside in NoVa (like 80-90%). I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 20-30 years, we start to see certain parts of NoVa having a sizeable Eastern European presence.
As for Caribbeans, I've never really heard of Caribbeans being in NoVa like that or moving out there (Maybe Latino Caribbeans??). I could be wrong as I don't live in NoVa. Just looking in from the outside.

Yea like I said a "sprinkle" of Caribbeans here and there. Jamaican, and yes Latino Caribbeans as well. But most definitely MD and DC hold the vast majority of Caribbeans in the DMV, easily.
Growing up, I rarely saw non Whites or non Blacks in NC. There were very few Asian children in my elementary school (one girl from India named Avni), and even into high school, there were less than a dozen students of Asian or Hispanic ancestry. That has changed. In some schools here, the majority of the minority students are Hispanic. There are areas where most of the faces you see are light tan to dark brown. Most of the Whites have fled for the countryside. You see tiendas and other such businesses all over the city, though mostly on the South side. It's very different from 1980, that is for certain. Doesn't bother me, but most of the older people in my family and my White fiance's family do not like it.
"Some random places that had big demographic changes from 2000 to 2020:
Eastpointe, MI: 5% to 52% Black
Hazleton, PA: 5% to 63% Hispanic
Herriman, UT: 3% to 78% White
Farmington, NM: 16% to 29% Native
Morrisville, NC: 9% to 46% Asian
Parkland, WA: 3% to 7% Pacific Islander"
Eastpointe is the extremely rare city outside of the South in which blacks are moving are moving in droves. Immigration from The Dominican Republic and migration from Puerto Rico has helped Hazleton grow in population.
