Raphael J. Sonenshein, "a political scientist at Cal State Fullerton", suggests ways that Asians can achieve the wonders of corporate pluralism in L.A. in "Do Asian Americans Count in L.A.?":
..One way to jump-start Asian American electoral success in L.A. would be to create smaller City Council districts or separate boroughs, with their own elected councils, but such ideas may never materialize. More immediately, the city's new neighborhood councils provide leadership opportunities with a real electoral future, and these positions could supplement current Asian American civic participation as public employees, community activists and members of city boards and commissions...
Perhaps Sonenshein should take a field trip up north to find out how they're doing it: "Oakland's Bilingualism - No Americans Need Apply".
