Well, he's stated before that his main MO here is to "put the bay area in its place."

I think that it's funny that we're back to seeing arguments about how if you took away all the Asians in CA, it would be less diverse and fall in score, and then the claim that this is a relevant and serious thing worthy of consideration.

Which is all fine and dandy, except that:

1) the reality is that there are lots of Asians in CA, and they're not going anywhere; if anything, they are continuing to immigrate, as well as simply starting families (ma and pa and baby makes three!) and growing in numbers.
2) if you took away all the Asians, New York would look less diverse, too.
3) if you took away all the black folks from DC, what would its diversity look like? This is as relevant (i.e., pointless) a question as posing what California would be like with fewer Asians.

The obsession with proving that California isn't diverse and sucks that this guy has is absolutely ridiculous. It's been going on for damn near a year already...

If any of the above is true, then that means that Southern California has at least some instances of racial problems.

Please admit or deny that in 2010, according to the statistics provided by the California Department of Justice, there were 664 instances of hate crimes recorded in Southern California?

Minority groups are more dominant over a far larger land mass than what we normally find in the Northeast as well.
Unlike California, most people live within a small area of the Northeast, making your supposition a moot point. Who cares about land mass when most people live in the city or suburbs?

All I can see from Northern California is that Hispanic farm workers make up the majority of the rural areas.

No one is saying that CA is some sort of racial utopia, but your insinuation that we are a powder keg of racial intolerance is just absurd

As far as the Asian question, looking at the NYTimes 2010 maps, the inner urban areas of the Bay Area are far more Black than DC or Philly are Asian, which I find it hilarious considering how often we are told that there are no Black people in the Bay Area, well Asians appear to be even LESS existent in urban DC or urban Philly than Blacks are in the urban Bay.

I'm not responding to your requests for admission until after you submit to a mental examination. Consider this a meet and confer.

This to-scale comparison of DC and SF should really end all this 'there are no Black people in the Bay Area' nonsense. Its clear that Blacks are very well represented in the urban core of the Bay Area, in fact to a degree that is MUCH higher than Asians in the urban core of DC.
