Which is the biggest group of immigrants in your town?
In keerbergen, my town, it are the Dutch coming to live here for tax reasons

IN Edmonton, it's the same as a lot of other places - Chinese.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Poland
Turkey
Sweden (included Slargos for a while)
Iraq

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

No idea. I'd guess for London as a whole Indian - but there's lots of groups within that nationality. For Southward I couldn't even guess. Maybe Spanish - it's the second most spoken language but there's a lot of Latin Americans here too so :mellow:
Let's bomb Russia!

According to the latest census 5% of Cincinnati is foreign-born but that seems high.  I know people from all over Latin America are here, but we don't have many migrants from Mexico or Central America.  If I had to guess, I'd say Indian.

Apparently in 2011, most of New York's immigrant population was from Dominican Republic followed closely by China.

(South) Asians.
But by 'biggest minority' I mean probably less than 20 or 30 people.
Today I was talking to some people I knew at a shop in town and we noticed an Arab couple was also in the shop. I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow. Don't normally see them around here". As I've mentioned before this town is so white we literally have a village black guy.
Its hard to tell which non-white people live in town and which only work here.

There was a nice map on the internet somewhere about most spoken languages after in English in the various London boroughs.
