	Chinatown
		Chinatown is a generic name for a urban region containing a large population of Chinese within a non-Chinese society.
		Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of land to Chinese outside of a restricted geographical area and which promotes the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
		The older Chinatowns tended to be isolated communities detached from the rest of American society and containing strong internal institutions such as the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association in New York City and the Six Companies in San Francisco.
