The upper and lower-class Chinese are also widely separated by social status and class discrimination. In California's [[San Gabriel Valley]], for example, the cities of [[Monterey Park, California|Monterey Park]] and [[San Marino, California|San Marino]] are both Chinese American communities lying geographically close to each other but they are separated by a large socioeconomic gap.
