"Chicago and Immigrants" by Jennifer Le
Immigrants choose to live in the same area as others in the same ethnic group because that is there comfort zone. Chinese immigrants choose to live in Chinatown because they have a better chance of getting jobs, life-experiences, and the ability to communicate with others in their language. It is not segregation; it's them adjusting themselves to a happy life.
