That's totally irrelevant from the standpoint of visibility because you dont see 12 Million people a day in the LA MSA. No, you only see the people around you that you come into contact with.
And in that context, 1 in every 8 persons you come into contact with in Solano County is most likely going to be Filipino.
And in the LA Metro, it goes all the way down to 1 in every 30.
Yes, we know the Bay Area is "richer" than the LA area. What does that have to do with anything?
You constantly bring up income stats as if that answers some sort of question. Higher average income = Bay Area. We get it.
A hub runs the gamut of socio-economic diversity this further illustrates how deeply Asians are entrenched in most geographies in the Bay Area-including places that in other parts of the country are unofficially considered off limits to people of color. Just saying.
But there would be no reason for me to want to do that. I don't understand why fiddling with the percentage points would do in terms of making LA more of a hub. I'm pretty sure the Filipino community goes where the community is, and those Filipino neighborhoods in Los Angeles is definitely that--despite not being able to get the percentage points. And somehow, despite the millions of other people who also live in Los Angeles, the community doesn't seem to have gotten completely confused by all those non-Filipinos and still manage to work as an actual community with people, organizations, leaders, businesses, etc. Crazy.

1/8>>>>>1/30
It's not "irrelevant" at all.
450k>>>>>>>57k
Again, just because the Bay Area is broken down into minute "MSA's", and the L.A. area is not, doesn't mean the L.A. area doesn't have quite significant hubs for not only Filipinos but most other Asian communities as well.
So, when you "walk around" these communities you'll see LOTS of Filipinos, Chinese, etc.
On the one hand it's "Oh, L.A. is so segregated", but on the other hand it's "all these ethnicities are spread evenly throughout the metro". Which is it?

YES.

I dont see a contradiction at all in making these 2 statements.

Ehh, that argument is iffy at best. The Bay Area is one of the most educated metro areas in the nation, while the LA Metro is one of the least. It would make sense that Asians in the Bay Area are wealthier than those in Los Angeles.
Are you kidding? "Segregated" implies people of certain ethnicities living in close proximity to each other without mixing with other ethnicities.
"Evenly spread out" implies all these people are living mixed with other races, and there are no ethnic enclaves because everybody is integrated.
The two concepts are in diametric opposition.
Are you saying that people of a specific race or ethnic group can only have a sense of community and kinship if they are separated into ethnoburbs or ethnoslums?
We just dont see it that way up north.
This is where the clear difference in mentality about race, ethnicity and diversity between Northern California and basically everywhere else in the country really manifests itself.
