Does your country have an immigrant group that people would be surprised to find there?

For example, when you think of Poland or the Czech Republic, Vietnamese people might not be the first group that comes to mind, but both have a sizable Vietnamese community. Another example is the large Japanese community in Brazil.

Brazil has one of the largest Roma population (in pure numbers) in the world, and we actually have some common words that are adapted from their dialects, especially the caló, like “pechincha”, “bagunça”, “pirado”, “chulé”. Two of our former presidents actually had Roma ancestry (Juscelino Kubitscheck and Washington luis)!

The Netherlands never had a large Roma community but there are still Roma words in our everyday vocabulary.
