Get out to Oklahoma City sometimes and ask yourself how so many Vietnamese ended up in the middle of the country.

A very strange set of circumstances led to that demographic.

IMO, the Vietnamese refugees who came here as boat people probably wanted to locate as far away from the ocean as possible.

Probably the most adaptable & productive immigrant group to have come to America.

Hickory, NC has very large Hmong & Romanian communities.

Local churches welcomed refugees and helped them get settled, jobs, language help, studies for citizenship.

It has happened all over the country.

Not sure if this applied to these folks in Rome.

BTW, North Georgia is a nice place to live.
