Basques: Reno Hmong: Minneapolis
Mexicans: Chicago
Puerto Ricans: New York
Ethiopians: DC
Japanese: Columbus, Ohio
Germans: Cincinnati
Urban Native Americans: Albuquerque
Mainland Hawaiians: Las Vegas
Actually, more Hmong is St. Paul than in Minneapolis.
Shouldn't we just do NYC and LA for just about everything? Honestly, Puerto Rican and Dominicans are more heavily concentrated percentage wise in New England than NYC, which is the case for many groups listed here.

Yes forgot Detroit and Chicago both have Greektowns. there IS the Greektown Casino in Detroit.
For centers of black American culture I think New Orleans, Atlanta, Baltimore and Memphis. New Orleans and Atlanta in particular has a lot of blacks heavily represented in all segments of society including the political and business community while some cities like Detroit and Chicago are completely white controlled but with a large black underclass. New Orleans has large numbers of middle class blacks and a lot of the city's most well known cultural aspects like jazz music were developed by blacks.....and also gumbo and jambalaya are also African influenced dishes.

So Detroit and Chicago don't have notable Black representation in their political and business communities now? Geesh....
Lowell, MA has a very large concentration of Cambodian immigrants.
The Puerto Rican population in the mainland US is gravitating more towards suburban and Sunbelt areas than in the past. One of the highest concentrations of this group is in Osceola County, FL (Kissimmee, Poinciana, etc.) on the south side of the Orlando metro area.
Nigeria is one of the leading African countries for immigration to the US, and newcomers from there tend to be highly educated and affluent (unlike those from Somalia for instance). Many are living in well to do suburbs of Washington DC and Houston in particular.
Also, New Orleans has a very prominent Vietnamese American community and is one of the centers for Vietnamese culture in the US, though Los Angeles and elsewhere in California do have more Vietnamese immigrants. Many of the smaller towns near the Louisiana Gulf Coast also have a Vietnamese American presence and many of them are involved in the fishing industry. New Orleans and the bayou area are heavily Catholic and Catholic churches supported a lot of Vietnamese refugee resettlement efforts (South Vietnam had a large Catholic population that was heavily involved in the anti-Communist resistance) and many of the fishing families were also in that business back in Vietnam and the climate and geography of the bayou are like home to them so their experience could be translated over here.
Portuguese - Boston/Providence Metros (but specifically the Fall River and New Bedford area). This skews more towards the Azores, but there are a lot of mainland Portuguese here as well. I'm not Portuguese, but I've spent too much of my adult life explaining that Chourico =/= Chorizo.
African Americans - Many places - Mississippi Delta, parts of the DC and Atlanta metros, New Orleans, Memphis
Mexicans - Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio
Chinese - San Francisco
Cubans - Miami
Puerto Ricans and Dominicans - NYC
Arabs - Dearborn, MI
Japanese - Honolulu
Jews - NYC and DC
Somalis - Minneapolis
French - Cajun country (though Cajuns are their own homegrown American culture and not really like European France vs how Mexicans in Texas are just like Mexicans in Mexico culturally and New York jewish and Israelis are very similar)
So Detroit and Chicago don't have notable Black representation in their political and business communities now? Geesh....
well certainly Chicago doesn't have notable black representation politically. Mayoral elections always involve a white male vs. another white male.
It would be laughable to think the city would ever see something out of the ballpark, batsh*t crazy, like........LOL......a black female running against another black female.
Would never happen.
