@Tim Jones It is interesting to read your concerns while we are seeing a continuous drive for California homes from Chinese.  

I was next to a liquor store, after hours, cheap chinese food spot...and a bus stop.....a subway stop.

Also, I agree that it is not a level playing field and companies get away with it via a "culture fit" and proving discrimination can be impossible.
