Which group is not considered an ethnic concentration in North America?

• A. Greeks in the Mississippi Valley
• B. Mexican Americans in Texas
• C. Haitian communities in Florida
• D. Chinese communities in California

Answer: (A)

This item tests recognizing where large ethnic concentrations exist in North America and identifying which group lacks a prominent enclave. Mexican Americans in Texas are a well-known concentration, with strong cultural presence across the Texas border region. Haitian communities in Florida are notably concentrated in South Florida, reflecting a clear geographic clustering. Chinese communities in California form one of the most recognizable ethnic concentrations in the country, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. In contrast, Greeks in the Mississippi Valley do not form a single large, defining enclave in that region; Greek-Americans are present in various cities across the country, but there isn’t a dominant Greek-dominated concentration in the Mississippi Valley. So the group that is not considered an ethnic concentration in North America in this sense is Greeks in the Mississippi Valley.
