The topic I chose is “the relationships between ethnic neighborhoods and native-born city residents (who are usually white and sometimes African American, Latino, Native American or Asian American)”. My understanding towards this topic is that I need to get a deeper analysis through several outside ethnic groups such as Mexican, Asian groups and how these ethnic groups interact with native-born city residents (how they adapt US society). I get the inspiration from the article ‘‘I’ll Take Chop Suey’’: Restaurants as Agents of Culinary and Cultural Change by Samantha Barbas. It gave me an introduction about how Chinese immigrants are integrated into American society by culinary and how native-born Americans accept Chinese immigrants. I would like to say that ethnic groups enrich the diversity of American society; ethnic groups potential enhance the possibility of crimes; ethnic groups also bring up many developing opportunities for US society.
