But they do form a a large proportion in those areas where they do live.
The previous poster's comment that black descendants of slaves may have a different point from modern economic immigrants - many chinese immigrants on the west coast are the descendants of similarly unfortunate C19 workers.
- maxklein 16y agoCome on, why don't you just look it up? By 1950, there were 150,005 chinese in the U.S, which is 0.1% of the population. In 1980, there were 812,178, which is 0.36%. By 2004, there were 3,353,486, which is 1.17%.

Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chinese_Population_USA.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chinese_Population_USA.jpg They don't form a large population. It's a very small population that did not have much of a chance to form large ghettos. Chinatowns could be formed (they are much smaller), and they WERE formed. The whole premise of this argumentation is wrong. First, the population is very low, and secondly, chinatowns do exist everywhere.
