Are you a rare species?

Is the non-USA partner a rarity where you live in the US?

For me it is a definite NO. There are no places you can go without Brazilians there. There are so many of them, that the streets are lined with Brazilain markets and boutiques.

When I went to Brazil, there was basically NOTHING I could bring back that I couldn't get here somewhere.

My husband probably speaks just as much Portuguese as English every day!!!

Restaurants, Hair Salons, Eye Doctors and Car Mechanics are open all over the place to serve the many Brazilian residents.

And...they don't speak English!

I went to a Brazilian meat market down my street and had to point and shake my head to get a piece of "mystery meat".

French people are rare around here, they all live in California, that sux for me I'm the French token for pretty much everyone I know, family, co-workers etc etc

I put down rare, simply because whilst I don't know of a lot of Australians living in Arkansas, there is at least an Australian Shop there.

Thankfully, Walmart seems to FINALLY be bringing in Cadbury, so I wont be going psycho so much

The town that my fiance lives in Maryland has quite a large number of English people, it quite surprised me.

Germans aren't a rarity in Indianapolis, but you definitely have to kick under a few rocks to find them. They are like a herd of cats.

I voted for my husband (the Brazilian) and put down Not Sure because it depends. Where we live there are very few Brazilians - mostly Puerto Ricans. But, 20 miles away - in Orlando - there are TONS of Brazilians. The language school I work at (where my hubby studies) is FULL of Brazilians, and there are supermarkets, cafes, perfume stores, etc.

We have only a couple Brazilian friends and I like it that way. My husband didn't come here to speak Portuguese or to hang out with Brazilians. However, we have met some really nice Brazilians. So, it is what it is....

We live in the middle of a lot so if you go east there are Brazilians, north or south there are not...

You do have a bad case of the boredom, don't you Meredith? Since when brazilians can also be Puerto Ricans?

You misunderstood. There are very few Brazilians. There are [instead] mostly Puerto Ricans [where we live].

One of the biggest reasons I love California is the cultural diversity here. I believe there's nearly a million Filipino's in California, with over half living in the LA area. I think for anyone marrying a foreigner, having that kind of familiarity nearby makes their transition to America not so overwhelming.

I think I am a rarity in the neighborhood where we live because it is mostly Mexican Americans or African American people.... and a few Asian people... I seem to be one of the few white people in this neighborhood....

but in LA as a whole, there are a lot of white people.... but I am not sure how many of those are Canadian...

It's diverse all right!

There's a Russian community here too, so it makes me not so rare, I guess
