I'm sure most of have heard that thousands of Afghan refugees are being relocated to the U.S. over next several months.  Oklahoma is getting 1,800 refugees, third in number for all states (only behind CA and TX).  Tulsa specifically is getting 850 refugees.  That is a big influx in just a few months, something that hasn't been seen since the end of Vietnam War. 

Curious if there is much of an existing Afghan community in Tulsa and if so where is it located?  Hoping we see some more Afghan restaurants.

This is going to be interesting.  I wish them all well and hope the Republicontins here don't ruin the US for them!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
