I would have guessed that tagalog would dominate in Washington as there are so many Filipinos there, but it seems that the Vietnamese are more populated there than Filipinos.

Fascinating data mining, but the term "melting pot" is a misnomer; immigrants today, more than ever, insist on retaining their culture, language and allegiance to their countries of origin rather than assimilate and adopt wholeheartedly into American culture.

Not "Melting Pot", but more like "Tossed Salad."
