No, that's not what I said. I'm sure you're right.
To the extent that those folks live in concentrated communities (geographic or otherwise) of recent immigrants, I'd bet they also have community and/or X-language newspapers that are providing plenty of coverage.
[I'd also bet that those papers concentrate mostly on the devastation in their particular country, which sort of reinforces our point about regional and/or parochial interests.]
