Talk:List of ethnic enclaves in North American cities

message: We are missing the ethnic enclaves in rural towns of the Great Plains. One can tell the ethnicity by the flags on the water towers. Most of these towns were established in the late 19th c, and have retained their ethnic enclave status, islands of community in a sea of grass, they probably outnumber urban enclaves in numbers, but not population.

thread_title: Bias

message: I'm not sure what the criteria are for "ethnic enclaves," but I wanted to suggest Ybor City, Tampa (Cuban, former industrial cigar-making district worked largely by Cuban immigrants), Tarpon Springs, Florida (Greek), and Vietnamtown/Little Vietnam, Orlando, FL (very concentrated Vietnamese community, including some Vietnamese parking signs, along SR 50/Colonial Blvd.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.0.1.182 (talk) 13:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed many items from different sections which are not "named ethnic enclaves"; ethnic enclaves they may be, but they're not named as such, i.e. Little Italy, Chinatown, Little Germany etc.  Also many of these are actual cities/towns, not just enclaves within them, and it's not clear that they're ethnic in character but only named e.g. the many Germantowns.  Also some do not seem to be in cities, hence "List of named ethnic enclaves in North America", period; more cleanup is needed and, as with the Germantowns, I don't know if they're actually ethnic or not, so participation from people in those states/provinces is needed.  Obviously also Native American/First Nations reservations and reserves within cities should not be included.  Between vagueness and clutter, more cleanup is needed.Skookum1 (talk) 17:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is better than it was in 2010. The list is about enclaves, communities and concentrations of certain ethnic groups in places. Germantowns tend to be more historic than current. And some Native American/First Nations areas in cities are relevant. I noticed two additions Jewtown, Georgia and Jewtown, Pennsylvania (now called "West Penn", not far from largely Bavarian Catholic settled St. Marys, Pennsylvania) were removed: the first one was settled by two Jewish people, but it has no sources to back up the claim it was ever a Jewish community, same with Jewtown, PA which is possible, still no sources for any mentions. I may heard of an Orthodox Jewish section of Whittier, California here in Southern CA, except it is not verifiable to be put in the article. Adinneli (talk) 17:18, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: List needs trimming ''and'' retitling

message: Great, not moved.  Would somebody please care to clarify the title, then....does it mean that places have to have a name, any name, or is it named as an ethnic enclave, i.e. because of the ethnicity, label etc?  This page either needs renaming, or very serious pruning....Skookum1 (talk) 06:10, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Not moved - so what's a "named ethnic enclave"?

message: I made a few of them over a hour, and hopefully fits in the criteria of an useful edit. Wherever there is an ethnic social community organization, a sizable population-percentage community, and/or enclaves/ neighborhoods/sections, I believe they should be added to the directory to make it more useful. Thanks for reading and any questions or suggestions are welcomed. 71.102.30.215 (talk) 22:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Two similarly named places in Penn. (Fox Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania (Irishtown and Kersey) and Fox Township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania (Jersey and Shunk) named for Irish and Scottish settlers in the state's Appalachia region) are examples of ethnic enclaves or concentrations, but they would be considered British or "American" (by ethnicity) as well. The Fox in Elk County (3,600 residents) about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh (considered more rural) has a large number of German/Swiss/Bavarian Catholics, while the Fox in Sullivan County has 10% Asian (the only considerable racial minority out of 500 residents) but is 120 miles north of Philadelphia and further away from a major city.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Historically, racial and ethnic segregation determined where minorities and groups live, but today the phenomenon known as "Residential area of choice" shows some people decide to live among a similar cultural group they are members of, or sometimes their decision to live in a place if there are clubs and social rec activities among their kind. 
Now, I want to discuss 5 things I seek in a city or town: 1. I have mild autism, 2. a Liberal Democrat, 3. a maiseiophile (likes pregnant women), 4. in my age group (ages 18-39) and 5. a vegetarian. Where should I move to where I'm the most comfortable, where my lifestyle and culture fits right in, and I'm not the minority to "stand out"? These places are known as "aspie centers" where people with autism and Asperger's are thought to be numerous (high-tech industrial-economic centers), communities where most registered voters are Democrats or gravitate to social-progressive cultural liberalism, large fertility clinics (IVF and sperm/ovum bank methods) and many single or open-relationship women when pregnant, college towns or universities with many young adults reside nearby, and some may be home to religious groups like some sects of Hindus and Buddhists, Jainists, Mormons/Latter-Day Saints (OK, not really vegetarians and more conservative Republican, abstains from tobacco and alcohol, and practice large-size families with many children), and Seventh-Day Adventists form plurality or majority populations - they practice vegetarianism. Here are the places I would want to relocate to and reside in.
In California-
* 1. Sacramento (with Univ of Cal Davis).
* 2. Marin county-Sonoma/Napa valleys.
* 3. Univ of Cal. Berkeley-Oakland (Alameda/Contra Costa)
* 4. San Jose-Santa Clara (includes Santa Cruz).
* 5. West L.A.-South Bay Los Angeles county.
* 6. Riverside-San Bernardino (Loma Linda and Corona).
Elsewhere-
* 7. Miami-Dade, Florida (plus Miami Beach or South Beach).
* 8. Bridgwater-Paterson, New Jersey.
* and 9. Massapequa-Long Island, New York.
I could add New York City (specifically Manhattan), San Francisco-San Mateo CA, San Diego CA and Orange County CA as a whole, but it's rather expensive nowadays or gentrification changed the socio-economic profile of these areas. 12.218.47.124 (talk) 20:33, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Diversity tends to be most centered in urban/metro areas, due to more kinds of people relocate to a certain place for economic reasons. New York City is probably the most diverse major city in North America: it is now 15% Dominican, 12% Chinese and 10% Indian, along with being 1/4 Black (African-American and Afro-Caribbean), has up to a million Puerto Ricans (US citizens on arrival from their territory Puerto Rico) and a history of Irish, German, Jewish (of many nationalities), Italian and Polish neighborhoods. I read about Dayton, Ohio's Oregon District has a  large Black and Latino American presence, as well gay/LGBT bars due to air force base personnel from the nearby Wright-Patterson AFB. 2605:E000:100D:C32F:FC2C:3C87:9E6D:7D17 (talk) 01:59, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reasons for ethnic and cultural enclaves 

message: English and British Americans are an ethnicity, nationality and culture, just like "Americans" who only identify with the USA as their main ancestry. Upper-income members are also known as WASPs, the term can have negative or deragatory meanings, but it simply means White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They tend to be the top 100 wealthiest communities or zip codes in the country, examples being Malibu-Santa Monica-west side L.A., Orange County CA (the coasts and "south county"), and northern San Diego with nearby areas in San Diego ("north") county.  12.218.47.124 (talk) 15:25, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The UK section, as usual when Scots and Welsh are lumped into it, ignores them. The list is thoroughly anglocentric... there are a number of particularly Scottish areas in North America, but the British label, as usual buries and hides them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.209.206 (talk) 19:49, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keep United Kingdom, esp England in the article 

message: Unable to verify claim of "largest Chinese enclave outside of China".
This claim was added in 22 November 2017 revision (by an IP user) without any citation.  The citation was added in a sequence of 13 April 2019 edits by 67.49.85.100.
I did not find the claim supported by the text content of the source.  I listened to the video, and did not hear it, but I may have missed it. If the claim is actually present, a quote should be added to the citation.  If not present, then maybe the claim should be changed to a similar claim that is supported, perhaps largest Chinese enclave in U.S. or North America ... or just keep looking.
