In certain communities in MA, significant increases in immigration from (mostly Southeastern) China began about 15 years ago (although by no means new). The pace of this immigration has steadily increased over this time period. As I knew would eventually happen, it is now interesting to see more and more Chinese-American and (whatever sort of) Caucasian-American young married couples strolling around the neighborhoods or perusing the aisles of local supermarkets pushing a baby carriage (or two). In 20-30 years or so, if trends continue along current lines, the 'face' if you will, of these communities will likely be significantly changed. I don't expect most people in these communities to notice or care as the process will be gradual and (of course) natural.
