Most places within commuting distance of Silicon Valley will naturally have a high Asian %, given the tech industry employee demographics.

I still don't see how it isn't Vancouver. The Bay Area and LA indeed have larger and more diverse populations, but Asians don't dominate either metro. In Vancouver, they're on the verge of being the primate group. And if you valued size and diversity in NA, the answer would be NYC, and probably then Toronto.

It's like asking whether Miami or NYC are more inherently Latin. NYC has a larger and more diverse Latin population, but the obvious answer is Miami, which is essentially a Latin city. The power/wealth structure in NYC (and LA, SF, and I imagine Toronto) is still overwhelmingly white Anglo. In Miami it's Hispanic, and I think Vancouver is just a few years behind.
