Other ethnicities are mostly in the north, away from the population centers. They now have significant immigration from other South American regions, but again, mostly to the north. Beef consumption has declined significantly, but I don't expect their cuisine will change much for quite a long while.

In the refugee camp in Germany my father had us on the wait list to be migrated to Argentina. In those days it was impossible for someone like our family to come to the USA. Truman make it possible for 200K refugees to come to the US over a 2 year period. We got lucky to make the list. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

If you've read what happened to the people that did return to the Soviet Union they did the right thing. Many of those that returned wound up in Siberia and died there. My father would have been killed. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.
