Does anyone have any details about the Asian community in Mexico? Where they live? Do they integrate, etc,etc.
Answer:
I really can't answer for all of MX but I know that in Mexicali, (across from Calexico, CA) there’s a massive Chinese community. It seems that at the end of the 19th Century, many Chinese were brought over to work on the rail system in California and in the fields. As time went by, they more or less settled in Mexicali. I don't know the percentage of Chinese there but I would guessitimate it's much higher than another city would have elsewhere in MX.
A lot of businesses are operated by Chinese there, also.
