From my time living in CO and the amount of Vietnamese/Pho restaurants there are, I would have thought that was the #1 there. That said, the ethnicity of food made does not always match the ethnicity of the people making it.

California has a huge Filipino population. In fact, Tagalog is the third most spoken language behind English and Spanish.
Asian immigration to North America dates back to over a century but has really picked up from the 1960s onward. In the US, around 25% of foreign-born residents were born in Asia and in Canada, over 50% of foreign-born residents were born in Asia.
**Most common Asian countries of birth in the USA are:**
1. India (2.6 million)
2. China (2.3 million)
3. Philippines (2.1 million)
4. Vietnam (1.4 million)
5. South Korea (1 million)
6. Pakistan (398k)
7. Iran (385k)
8. Japan (333k)
9. Bangladesh (261k)
10. Thailand (260k)
**Most common Asian countries of birth in Canada are:**
1. India (898k)
2. Philippines (720k)
3. China (716k)
4. Pakistan (256k)
5. Hong Kong (214k)
6. Iran (183k)
7. Vietnam (182k)
8. South Korea (138k)
9. Sri Lanka (136k)
10. Lebanon (98k)

I’ve never lived in a state in Blue, but I feel like I’ve met far more Chinese than anything else. Probably confirmation bias.
Edit: Oh wait. It’s birth, not descent. That probably explains it. Most American Chinese are second generation+ at this point.

Thought it would be Vietnam in New Mexico based on the food scene. Why don’t Filipinos open up restaurants as often as other Asians?
