Neither in total number nor in percentage does the NY Tri State Area have the largest concentration of Asians in the US.
None of the California cities can compare to New York.
This thread is about the 'TRI STATE AREA', and the 'Tri State Area' can't compare to the Bay Area when it comes to Asians being concentrated around the entire region.
To scale maps from the New York Times, 2010 Census
Yeah, the Bay Area needs Sacramento in order to be put into the same conversation as the Tri-State Area...LOL!
While we have Asians like Jeremy Lin who left California to play for the Knicks, one of many examples of Asians leaving California to the supposedly inferior Tri-State Area.
You are correct the Bay Area has a much higher percentage of Asians than tri state (I'd call that a region too!) In fact second in percentage to only Honolulu.
The key and most glaring difference between the Socal/ Bay Area Asians (strong influence) and the tri-state Asians (weak influence) is that here in the Bay Area, California, and the West Coast in general, we have Asians that run sh*t!
The mayor of SF is Chinese. The mayor of Oakland is Chinese. The first Asian American mayor of any major US city (San Jose) was Asian.
There are three Asian Americans representing California in Congress. None for tri-state.
IN fact, Hawaii has a far higher claim than tri-state in this respect. Daniel Inouye, the president pro-tempore in the US Senate, is Third in line of succession to the US Presidency. Tri-state has no clue (or better yet no chance) on how to get an Asian elected to higher office. Why is that? Surely an Asian will rise and overtake Bloomberg, right?!? WRONG! not in 100 years IMO.
In comparison the Asian population in the tri-state area is disenfranchised, punch less, listless, clout less, and small time compared to Asians out West. It's pure unadulterated inferiority complex at its finest that we are witnessing here on this site. And it's actually pleasing me to no end to see them wail away like they have been when it comes to this topic! LOLOLOL
***And don't think we haven't caught on to the fact that every other name that has voted for tri-state is "NOT A MEMBER". It's transparent! LMFAO
It really is a numbers game, and LA and SF surpass NYC in terms of East Asian representation, while NYC overshadows LA and SF in terms of South Asian representation. Simple, really. Someone should lock this thread as this argument has gone on longer than necessary.
New York CSA: 1,964,485
Bay Area CSA: 1,672,456 (2nd highest percentage Asian)
Your numbers state that the inferior New York Area has 300,000 more Asians than the Bay Area. So logically, we're 2nd based on that. However, I would say we're 1st because Asians are a much larger growing part of the population than in SoCal, which by now is pretty much Mexico
A) New York metro is 3x larger than The Bay, so a 300k lead is hardly impressive. Percentage wise, San Francisco and environs blow NY CSA clean out of the water.
B) Your statement about L.A. defies all common sense. What part of "LA has more total Asians, AND a higher percentage of L.A.'s population is Asian" do you not understand?
