108. That's what I'm trying to tell you, these areas are different now

Jul 2012

of course, Phoenix doesn't have the Asian population of the Bay Area or Los Angeles, but it's near 10 percent now.

and as for Vietnamese restaurants, again, it's time to realize how much our country has changed since your opinion formed about these areas:

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=phoenix+thai+restaurants&ion=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=798&bih=400&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ei=42oXUPnoGMqlrQG194HgDA&ved=0CE8Q_AUoAg

here's Salt Lake City for Malaysian restaurants:

(notice the suburbs, these are not white monoliths like in decades past)

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=salt+lake+city+malaysian+food&ion=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=657&bih=403&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ei=ZG0XUPv3CJHtqAGY5oGgCw&ved=0CEAQ_AUoAg

And I just want to add that I think it's one of the greatest things to happen to this country. To me the American dream, which is now going worldwide, is to be defined not by one's ethnicity, but by what one values and cares about.

Today, in many free nations you can't judge a person's ethnicity by looking at them. They look Asian, but their family has been in California since the 1800's. They are American, period, or whatever they want to consider themselves.

In Canada too, immigration has changed everything. It's great.
