Since many of us already knows how California is, I am going to talk about the diversity of the state of California. Just like how I talked about in the blog for chapter 14, Santa Clarita is a diverse city, but it is only fitting that it is diverse because Santa Clarita is in a very diverse state.
Since California is close to Central and South America and Asia, SoCal is also the major destination for migrants who are entering the United States from the mentioned parts of the world.
On the chart below, shows the population for the Greater part of Los Angeles.
Largest - Mexican Metropolitan Area outside Mexico.
2nd Largest- Chinese Metropolitan Area outside China.
2nd Largest- Japanese Metropolitan Area outside Japan.
Largest - Korean Metropolitan Area outside Korea.
Largest - Filipino Metropolitan Area outside Philippines.
Largest - Vietnamese Metropolitan Area outside Vietnam.
The Los Angeles cityscape reflects its ethnic diversity. Places such as Little Tokyo has been part of the city for so long. Also, Monterey Park in the San Gabriel Valley is 50 % Asian.
