When making a statement like this I feel it is important to specify which Asian community, since the term Asian covers a lot of different groups.

Here in Minnesota the vast majority of Asians are Southeast Asians. And we have found that even with that geographical focus, there are many differences among the Hmong, Laotians, Cambodians, and Vietnamese communities.
