Asians in thriving enclaves keep distance from whites
Asians in thriving enclaves keep distance from whites

From Bloomberg:
Asians, the fastest-growing, highest-earning and best-educated race in the U.S.,
are almost as segregated from the nation’s white majority as they were two decades
ago, according to a study released today. Specific Asian ancestries — including two
of the largest, Chinese and Indians — are as isolated from the white population as
Hispanics, according to the study by two Brown University sociologists. At the same
time, Asians generally live in neighborhoods that are comparable — and in some ways
“markedly better” — than those of whites, the study said… Susan Brown, a University
of California, Irvine sociologist, said that eventually Asians will probably become
better assimilated with other ethnic groups. “There’s every reason to think that over
time and generations, the Chinese, Indians and other Asian groups will start to move
out of enclaves,” Brown said. “It just won’t happen quickly.”
