This article explores the changing immigration patterns of the Asian population in the region of LA/NYC. The article makes it evident that newly arriving Chinese immigrants are forming more a middle class and are not settling in purely Asian areas. Youngsters are becoming more and more Americanized, yet are still keeping in touch with their Asian roots because of places like Chinatown in NYC. The article strays away from the previous pieces in that the newly arriving Asians are more affluent and are generally more into the middle class of society, instead of the lower class like they used to be in the time of when factory work was so popular. What I also found interesting was the vast difference between the many Asian languages that for the longest time I found to be very similar. For example, those who know Cantonese do not necessarily know Mandarin and vice versa.

Question: Why did the Asian population choose places like Canal St. in Manhattan and Homecrest in Brooklyn to migrate to originally?
