Even in the area with a large % of chinese americans, the percentage hovers around 1%. 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.
