Didn't you say you were from Middlesex, bronz?

Anyway, the diversity in Middlesex in interesting because in the 21st century it has gotten very Asian very quickly*. Growing up in the area, a lot of the high schools have become plurality Asian and when you drive down Route 27 from Princeton through the county, it seems like every business has a name with origins from the subcontinent or China. I think it also has the largest Indian-American population by % in the country, and it really shows. Movie theaters sell samosas, there are multiple Indian supermarkets, a neighborhood which is a Little Gujurat, and the town where Trump had his Hindu speech was just outside the county. Definitely more interesting for a suburb than one would expect.

*Now that I think about, it might have the highest Asian % of any county outside of CA and HI other than Queens.
