Chinatown's Aesthetic



The gates to "Chinatown" in many cities around the world have a similar look for a reason. The aesthetic of those gates and the architecture aren't really Chinese, but more of an American idea of what Chinese architecture would be. The reasons behind the adoption of that look go back into the history of immigration and discrimination. (via Nag on the Lake)
