I know about a dozen Arabs of various nationalities in SF, but they all live in different areas.

The "Koreatown" in Silicon Valley is centered on El Camino Real in Santa Clara, in terms of Korean businesses, but Koreans live all over Santa Clara County.

Iranian-Americans generally refer to themselves as Persians - but not all Iranians are of Persian ancestry. Yes, you'll find many of them in Silicon Valley, though I think there is a greater concentration in LA's Westside.

Lots of Middle Easterners also live in Fremont, though not exclusively...and in fact you can find just about any cultural group in Fremont.

Fremont does have a good number of Afghanis, but it has just about every other nationality you can think of, too.

Fremont is also full of East Asians. Oakland's "Chinatown" has a strong Vietnamese presence, too. There's a Russian/Jewish enclave in Berkeley/Kensington, and a small Russian community in Walnut Creek, possibly an extension of the one in Sacramento.
