One of the things I was shocked by when I visited San Francisco was how much Chinatown actually resembled China. 90% of the patrons in masks, no English, and a completely homogenous culture living exactly like they would in Beijing. I didn’t really understand why they even bothered to come across the Pacific. The goings on this week make perfect sense after having seen the area firsthand.

Save your “generalization” and “not everyone” comments. I understand that this is a blanket anecdotal statement that I noticed from MY TRUTH.
