Los Angeles is described using archetypal or mythic themes-virginity, virility, and purity-drawn in part from American historiography of the western part of the United States of America, often called the frontier. These themes have been used to express the contemporary fascination with the ethnic populations of Los Angeles, and they suggest a connection between the Eastern concern with ethnicity and the Western concern with the frontier
