  There are about 22 million non-European Americans, mainly Black Americans, Red Indians, Latin Americans and other peoples.

  The Red Indians number about 600,000.They are the natives of America.They look somewhat like Tibetans.They are not red, but brown.They were called Indians by mistake.When Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, he thought he had landed in India and called the people Indians.

  The Black people had a sad history.Nearly all of them are descendants(后裔)of Africans brought from Africa to America sold as slaves in the 17th and 18th centuries.Today, they are about 21 million in number or 11 percent of total American population.Most of them lived in the South till the 1930s and since then more and more were leaving the South to look for work in the industrial North.Today, 60 percent of Black Americans live in New York, Chicago and other big cities.

  Mexicans who belong to Latin Americans are the 2nd biggest minority nationality.Most of them are immigrant(移民)farm workers.The Puerto Ricans, from the island of Puerto Rica off the coast of Florida, live mostly in the slums(贫民窟)of big cities like New York and Chicago.These two peoples like the Afro-Americans mostly live below the poverty line.

  There are Chinese people living in America, too-almost a quarter of million(the exact figure is 236,000).Many of them went to America about 100 years ago to build the railways there.They suffered a great deal.Today, most Chinese Americans live in California(a state facing the Pacific Ocean)and New York, and also in Hawaii, and archipelago(群岛)in the mid-Pacific, which is counted as the 50th state of the U.S.A.

Dear sir,

    As one of your regular readers, I have always admired your policy of supporting the problems of the ordinary citizens of London. I hope, therefore, that you will find space to publish this letter. I live in a tower building in the East End of London, situated between two busy streets with a street market along its third side. Naturally we suffer from the traffic, noise, dirt and waste gas. However, behind us we have an open green space with shady trees which provides us with a

 quiet pleasant place where we can enjoy our spare hours. We are mostly pensioners (领退休金的人) and there are very few children in the place.

 Our local government has recently planned to make use of this site for a short time as a play centre for about 100 children. Although all the people who live there are strongly against the plan, the government have totally taken no notice of us and have already started pulling up our trees and grass, in spite of the fact that there is a disused school and playground with in 100 meters which would suit their purpose equally well. I should be glad to hear from other readers who have had similar problems and might be able to advise us on what action we should now take.

P. Greene,
