so very arbitrary. i guess if yoo asked the average u.s.-american, brooklyn is more famous for being majority african-american (do the rite thing, jay-z, ...). this was on must see t.v.: https://youtu.be/0hK3pBcY3k0?t=30
Brooklyn was never majority African American and today isnt even 30% African American. Brooklyn IMO has always been depicted as and well known for wide cultural diversity while being prominently African American for a long time. But I've always been aware there Orthodox Jews, Irish Russians, Puerto Ricans and a lot of West Indians.
So I don't think either of you are wrong (except for majority african american)
Famous Associations: (this will be very northeast centric as im most familiar with northesst obviously)
Portuguese: Massachusetts, Rhode Island (Fall River, New Bedford, Provincetown)
Italian: Jersey, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston (Brooklyn, North End)
Irish: Boston, New York, Chicago (Southie)

Puerto Rican: Orlando, The Bronx, Springfield MA, Chicago
Dominican: The Bronx, Providence, Lawrence MA
Cuban: Miami, Jersey
Brazilian: Framingham MA, SoFlo
Greeks: Boston, Astoria Queens
Jews: Brooklyn, Jersey, Boca Raton, LA
Nice list.
I would add Indians: New Jersey, Dallas, Chicago
Mexicans: Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Riverside/Inland Empire, Phoenix
I would also add Chicago to your Greek list, #2 in population in U.S. with a Greektown. Even Betty White was part Greek and from Oak Park, IL.
For Brazilians in addition to SoFla MA has a huge Portuguese population from both Portugal, Cape Verde, and Brazil.
Possibly Gisele Bundchen's relationship with Tom Brady may have attracted Brazilians to America and there is several Instagram influencers/models from Brazil living in the Miami Area. In addition Gisele is of German descent as well.
Posen MI is 70 percent Polish descent
Some Wisconsin communities by Lake Winnebago to Manitowoc all the way to the south Green Bay suburbs are strictly 60 to 80 percent German
Nepalese: Dallas, NYC, LA and the Bay area to a lesser degree.
Afghan: Northern Virginia, Texas, California (Sacramento and the East Bay)
Uzbek: NYC, LA to a lesser degree.

An influx of Salvadorean immigrants into the (Arl/Alex) neighborhood in the 1980s has earned it the nickname "Chirilagua,
This area is flooded with central American illegals. They all have forged documents and are hired locally. Many of them speak no English, even though they have been here for years.
Arab: Detroit/Dearborn
Polish: Chicago, Brooklyn/Queens, Detroit
Guyanese: Queens
Bosnian: St. Louis

I also once read a lot of Polish residents settled near Pittsburgh, as well. I remember reading St. Louis had a lot of Bosnian residents, as well.
I seem to remember hearing Nashville has a noticeable Kurdish immigrant population, as well.
