My recent visit to Southern California gave me the impression that I was in China, not America. I feel like I've wasted my money making trip thousands miles away from home only to land right in the middle of a mega-Chinatown!
Every where I went in Greater Los Angeles, I saw heap of Chinese. San Gabriel Valley looks more like Hong Kong than California. Stores are all in Chinese. Only Chinese language was spoken, no English! Libraries are filled with Chinese books (though they put them under the label "international"). From Arcadia to San Marino to South Pasadena to Alhambra, the Chinese were filling the city. Driving around these cities can be hazardous to your mental health - not just physical one. The Chinese's driving reflect their mentality and nature: dangerous obnoxious and pushy. They love to drive Mercedes and BMW to show off their wealth while in reality, they have destroyed the good names of these fine German cars. The Chinese think driving a Mercedes would elevate them somehow in the American society. Their stores are filthy and the restaurants are B- and C-rated (by the LA county health department), with rat drops infested their chop suey and chow mein. But they don't care because that's normal to them.
This is the Chinese culture the world would have to put up with. The Chinese somehow get the idea that their large quanity (no quality) can overrun any thing and any country they wish. Granted there are billions of Chinese and they can fill every fox hole on this planet, their existence is an annoyance to a civilized society.
