I was born in Southern California, lived there my whole life up until a few years ago when I moved here to Vegas. I'm of mixed descent, asian/hawaiin/caucasian, my parents grew up on military bases around the world so they are extremely open minded about other cultures. When I visit other parts of the country, the east coast, the south, the midwest, etc. I'm always struck by the lack of diversity, and in some places, the close-mindedness and well, frankly the ignorance that some peope still live in. In some small towns across the country, and even some big cities, I feel like I've time travelled back to the 50's. Even here in Vegas I miss the diversity of Southern California.
And actually, being partly of Japanese descent I always thought there was a very small Japanese community in Southern California, especially compared to the Koreans.
