1. Straight from the book, although slightly extended from city to whole county: "So enduring have been the migration flows that today Anglos are a minority of Los Angeles County 9.9 Million People. greater Los Angeles may be the largest Mexican metropolitan area outside Mexico; the second largest Chinese metropolitan area outside china; the second largest Japanese metropolitan area outside Japan; and the largest Korean, Filipino, and Vietnamese metropolitan area outside those countries.
2. Because of settlement history and Hispanic heritage, there are numerous Hispanics in Los Angeles, estimated at about 40 percent. Current migration patterns keep that percent up.
3. Personally, when walking around in l.a streets, I do not feel any discrimination. growing up in l.a, I have seen so many people of all cultures that nothing is out of the ordinary for me. Of course that does not mean it doesn't exist, such as the rodney king incident. Although, I would say most of the racism comes from angsty middle and high school students. And cops.
4. Los Angeles' economy has changed somewhat from first being a petroleum producer to annexing Hollywood and becoming a major film industry. Like said in previous post, there are many other industries in L.A. too other than those.
