I am curious about how most LA residents perceive their city these days. Since the massive influx of immigrants from Mexico began during the last decade, what does LA seem like to you? When you go to malls, restaurants, office buildings, etc. do you notice that you see a lot more diversity now? Has racial tension become worse in the city? Are Whites and Asians moving out? Where do Black people fit into this equation? Are most people angry about the influx of Hispanics or mostly pretty laid back about the whole issue? I wonder, bc I'm moving out to LA in a month or so and wonder what the social dynamic of the city is like. Is it really, really segregated? If I live in San Gabriel Valley, does that mean I'm only going to see one ethnic group? Does LA still feel "American" or does it feel almost like an extension of Mexico these days?
