According to a report by ''[[USA Today]]'' in 2000, Long Beach is the most ethnically diverse large city in the United States.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/22/AR2007012201143_2.html | title=Long Beach Awaits Hate-Crime Verdict | work=Washington Post website | first=Sonya | last=Geis | date=January 23, 2007 | access-date=May 11, 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108165441/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/22/AR2007012201143_2.html | archive-date=November 8, 2012 | url-status=live }}</ref> It has a relatively high proportion of Pacific Islanders (over 1% as of the 2000 Census), from [[Samoa]] and [[Tonga]].

Long Beach once had a sizable [[Japanese American]] population, which largely worked in the fish canneries on [[Terminal Island]] and on small truck farms in the area. In 1942, not long after the [[Attack on Pearl Harbor]] and subsequent [[Japanese declaration of war on the United States and the British Empire]], President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] issued United States Executive Order 9066 which allowed military commanders to designate areas "from which any or all persons may be excluded".
