Census Tidbit

Wasn't what I expected, considering the distance involved, both physical and cultural, but Asians are expected to be the fastest-growing minority group in the US, growing by one-third by 2014, and possibly tripling by 2050. That's still only 33 million, which will be less than 10% of the total population by then. I guess Hispanics are running into the problem of large numbers, as they creep toward plurality, if not majority, status in many states.

More businesses and strip malls like Eden Center are sprouting across the country, as more Asian families settle outside of cities. One such mall in Las Vegas, called Chinatown Plaza, bills itself as the "largest master-planned Chinatown in America."

Master-planned Chinatowns. Boy that's just what the doctor ordered. Doctor Strangelove, maybe. Or maybe I'm just annoyed after trying to find a parking space at Pacific East mall on a Saturday night.
