The writer of this entry on Chinatown, Houston said that it has been an area of settlement for Chinese Mexicans. I assume this is a more recent population of Chinese Mexicans that has settled since the 1970's or so. Historically, Chinese Mexicans preferred El Paso and San Antonio.
I'd like to know where the writer got his/her info on the Chinese Mexicans settling in the Bellaire Chinatown area. I'd like to know how many Chinese Mexicans the writer believes live in the Bellaire Chinatown of Houston. And I'd like to know when they settled and what they do.
I am the editor of a Univ of Texas book on the history of Asian Americans in Texas, and I found your Wikipedia website very useful for this neighborhood-related information.
Thank you for helping me.

Honestly, I would take every information found on Wikipedia with a grain of salt. I wouldn't rely on Wikipedia as a source, especially for a scholarly book.

Can anyone provide a better photo? This blurry one, shot through a dirty windshield, is not very descriptive of the subject. SteveHopson 17:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
