And it all just stood out so much more because Dublin, while definitely a nice place, is still just a run-of-the-mill suburb of less than 50,000. The Japanese presence is that much more visible. |

My wife is a kikokushijo and she basically hates Japan. Except the food. I'm with her on that one; you can clock Japanese culture for a lot of things, but food is not one of them. I couldn't go back to life without grilled salmon and miso for Saturday breakfast. :slob: |
In Florida, I think Orlando has a sizable Filipino community. Miami never did have a large community of any Asian group.

Could be that LA isn't that significant of a tech hub. Perhaps LA might in the future. |
^ The numbers show that San Diego County and the LA CSA (roughly 5.5 times larger) essentially have an identical share of Indians (and SD has a thriving biotech economy). In fact, Irvine (population 275,000) is home to an Indian population (6% share) that numbers slightly less than half of SD County's total.
But on a slightly un/related note, the numbers do illustrate that SD's extremely Filipino... even more so than the Bay Area. https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/...prodType=table |
Despite all the hype about Silicon Beach LA's tech sector is fairly small. San Diego and Irvine are more significant as tech hubs for Socal.
And what tech industry it does have is more connected to the entertainment industry such as Amazon Studios. |
^ Okay? Talk about a red herring argument. I was just debunking your theory about Indian population vis-a-vis tech economy, and used an example you gave to do it. Boston's another example... smaller Indian population than Dallas and Houston, two cities that aren't really "tech hubs."

NYC seems to have the only really sizeable working class South Asian population among major US cities.

There were already thousands of Sikhs living in California over 100 years ago. The first Indian American and Asian American in general to be elected to congress came from California's early Indian/South Asian community. Dalip Singh Saund (September 20, 1899 – April 22, 1973) was an American politician who was a member of the United States House of Representatives. He served the 29th District of California from January 3, 1957 to January 3, 1963. He was the first Sikh American, the first Asian American, the first Indian American and the first member of a non-Abrahamic faith to be elected to Congress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalip_Singh_Saund https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/echo...dom/title-page San Francisco in the 1910s to late 1940s even was the headquarters of an Indian revolutionary movement (albeit one that failed in its goals) that included Punjabi migrant workers and intellectuals and students in the US and abroad trying to fight for India's independence against what was then British colonial rule. NorCal and SoCal alike have had South Asians long before any IT boom. https://medium.com/secret-desi-history http://religionclasss2014.blogspot.c...s-angeles.html |

In contrast, Silicon Valley has a gigantic demand for H-1B, hence the massive Indian population around San Jose. |

“Tech” is a really broad-based term these days, and I’ve noticed that it’s often used in the context of describing cities with an educated workforce or startups receiving VC funding. In the former case, DC, Denver, Austin, etc. are supposedly “tech hubs,” while LA less so. But we gave birth to the Internet, was a player in early social media (MySpace), invented “Stories” through Snapchat before Instagram hijacked it, started the scooter revolution through Bird, and are home to SpaceX, whose plan is to launch 42,000 satellites to provide high-speed Internet service worldwide. |

Fair enough. Point being, I don’t think LA gets enough credit for its tech contributions. Name one notable tech-related trend a la Stories or Bird or SpaceX that NYC, Boston, or Austin has produced in recent memory. LOL at the WeWork (is that even tech?) IPO disaster.

Your state invented the freaking internet.
The internet. |
