Touché, JW! Laughing

But maybe not as much as yourself...(I mean, like in vieux crouton!)

But, do the shopowners of the Chinatowns separate themselves in further ways, or do they go home to neighborhoods like yours and mine and blend into the culture of their adopted homeland, its values and laws?

I agree that not only was there less Hispanic immigration 40 years ago, but most was legal then, too.

I'm just proposing examination of what the policies of 40 years ago produced versus the multiculturism policies that are in place today.
Chinatown is the place they live and work. I think some if not many of them never leave there.

What policies then vs now?

Seems to me that were a lot of un-acculturated groups prior to 1960.

Sorry you feel that way, Francis. I can't make a similar judgment since I don't know you. I'll just have to assume you're young and fresh Smile

Just trying to avoid some beforehand bashing, JW.

I do not think you are old and stale, as I can not back my judgement.

Your assumption about my youthfulness is only partly right, the spiritual part. I would describe the physical one as middle aged...

But about freshness, I think you're right. Laughing
