Agree. But also if Chinatown wasn’t founded by one group it wouldn’t be Chinatown. When we are appreciating a culture, that culture is a set of values, norms, and beliefs that are consistent, not diverse.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoWhat national culture is not diverse
- tyg13 3y agoNations which are heavily monocultural. Japan or South Korea are good examples, I think.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoJapanese culture is diverse. Maybe you’re just unfamiliar
- tyg13 3y agoI'm quite familiar. Would you care to elaborate?
- KRAKRISMOTT 3y agoBut it isn't founded by one group, most Chinatowns are a hodge podge of Asian cultures, conveniently labeled Chinese because they are the majority.
- SomethingNew2 3y agoI didn’t have any background knowledge on this so started looking on Wikipedia. It looks like Chicago has one of the largest Chinatowns so I started there. You can read about its origin in the history section https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown,_Chicago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown,_Chicago. From what I’ve read, it appears it was people primarily from China. Do you have any information about Chinatowns being formed by other Asian cultures?
