Well the state, especially LA is home to Little Sri Lanka, multiple Koreatowns, multiple Chinatowns, Little Armenia (which constitutes one of the biggest minorities in the state), and Orange Country has become Tehran 2.0 in a few areas. LA is so diverse that our voting ballots are offered in 17 languages (and that’s just for the county). California has some very unique immigrant communities. In fact half of my classmates families are first or second generation immigrants in the US. My school in particular has around 50 foreign nationals, and live in a suburb!
My favorite immigrant community in California is Solvang. It’s a town founded by Danish immigrants in one of the most beautiful parts of the state, it’s even been a host to numerous Tour of California stages.
So, as you can tell I take a little pride in being a Californian. That also means that I’ve exposed to a lot of foreign food, such as Korean soda, Mexico street vendor food, all types of Asian cuisine, European candy and sandwiches, Midwest barbecue, Poké, Sushi, gelato.
