Guilford County, NC is the largest refugee resettlement county in the state but you wouldn't know it from a visit here. Refugees and immigrants have contributed many things to the region but this would not be clear to the average newspaper reader and certainly not to average citizen who is inclined to have either a negative view or to be vaguely unaware of facts even if she is broadly tolerant of newcomers.
Food diversity is the most obvious impact of newcomers. There are more restaurants, ethnic stores and food markets that sell foods and ingredients from all over the world than there has ever been in the past.
MashUp came from the notion that behind food diversity is people diversity.
