South American and African Immigrants in LA (and the US in general) (Los Angeles: diversity)

[vivo]

ethiopians in LA. what else and where? South Americans?

It seems these two groups are lacking in the US. Lot of SA's in Miami.
Nigerians in Balt/dc area. these are just 2 examples.
diversity seems to be dominated by Mexicans in LA. are Asians gaining vs Mexicans here? (the METRO AREA NOT CITY)

There is a large community of Brazilians who live near Culver City, and there are many Ethiopians who live in the Fairfax area of Los Angeles as well.

along fairfax (or one of those west side streets) is little ethiopia. but there isnt a big african immigrant community like in the ATL or other places. south americans are mixed in with the rest of latinos. a lot of people think that everyone who speaks spanish is mexican, but in fact they represent the different nations of america. there is also a belizean community here in la. many speak spanish and look black tho. lookin at census data i noticed that among the the cities with the highest number of south americans and cubans, etc was glendale, burbank, bell and hawthorne of all places. la has a lot of mexicans but it also has a lot everything. its a big place after all.
