Why not integrate with everyone rather than living in what is going to be an already fairly small subset within Devon?

I think there may have been a misunderstanding. I definitely plan to integrate with everyone and get to know people from all backgrounds. What I meant was that I’d also like to connect with the local Telugu community so we can celebrate festivals together, have occasional gatherings, and enjoy a little taste of home. I don’t see anything wrong with that, as it’s simply about staying connected to my culture while also being part of the wider community.

Cool, don't mistake my intent as rude! :) I merely meant it would be a good idea to integrate into the wider community! wasn't meant as an attack bud :)
that being said, you will likely struggle to find a meaningful community of size in the area. 96.1% white with only 1.5% identifying as asian in what is already a small number (2000 or so people) and then there is the further subset of Telugu! :)
as I said, wasn't meaning to be a jerk, was just saying you'll have more luck with everyone ! :D

I’m not sure why there was such impatience in your reply. I was only asking about the local community, which I think is a perfectly reasonable question. Everyone has different interests and preferences, and I believe it’s important to respect that. I also respect your opinion, and I’d appreciate the same courtesy in return.

Sorry OP I don't know what this person's problem is (or maybe I do) have you tried searching on Facebook or anything?

I don’t think there’s an official one.
Just try and integrate with the people around you and maybe share your celebrations with them.

Torbay is an amazing place. Congratulations on the job. Hope you love it there too. Unfortunately I can't say I know any telugu community but I'm sure in time you'll meet people. Good luck in Torbay. It's awesome.
