They certainly each have influence on an area, as a group, on a macro level. On a micro level, there is much greater influence from each individual group.
I don't see how that would be possible. I could see Chinese Americans influencing an area or Japanese Americans, but not an Asian American "group" per se. I don't see how very many Filipino-Americans identify with the Asian-American cause considering that they are mostly Catholic, have mostly Spanish last names and have cultural traits closer to the Pacific Islands than Asia.
Diversity should be concentrated. Immigrants are welcome to US from any country but we need to push for more immigrants from certain countries more. Most valuable countries for immigration are China, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Brazil, Russia, Italy, India, Canada, Australia, Spain, Mexico, Israel, South Korea, Indonesia, Turkey, Austria, Phillippines, Netherlands, Thailand, Argentina, etc. The US has history and business relations with these most powerful countries. Caribbean island countries don't add business or entrepreneurship relations IMO. Lightweights
50% of Chinese HNWI's in China want to move overseas. The US would miss out by not trying to attract them and their cash flow IMO.
What exactly does this have to do with this thread? Diversity in the US is pretty well spread, for better and for worse. What makes the Northeast and parts of the South (mostly Florida) so exceptional in the diversity realm is that they receive immigrants from countries that come to the West (Mexico, Central America, Asia) and receive immigrants in large numbers from other areas of the world that aren't represented in the West (Caribbean, Africa, etc.)

Caribbean island people, they deserve to be here as much as any one else but if I wanted to work for diversity it would be for economical gain. SF is the most opportune city in the world for immigrants and they successfully connect business relations of US with rest of the world. Creating global workforce. It's more valuable IMO.
I enjoy the culture in the US by the Carribbean island people. They deserve to be here as much as any one else but if I wanted to work for diversity it would be for economical gain.
I thought the saying was: ""Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
So you'd generally agree that the US has too many Mexican people then? Many are poorer than the "Caribbean island people" you are talking about and some may be a drag on the social services of the US.

I don't even think its the most opportune city in its own state. Or even in a 50 mile radius (San Jose beats it out). Los Angeles and New York are true global cities that attract both the best and brightest and the downtrodden from everywhere, while San Francisco seems to get mostly the rich.
Houston, DC, Chicago and Dallas IMO will be more diverse in the future because it can appeal to a wider group of people.

The US has perfect number of Mexican people. We could use more, Mexico's surging and lots of money and business could be made.
What Carribbean businesses have those island people brought? What Carribbean investors, producers, entrepneurs? Worlds richest man Carlos Slim is Mexican and an avid investor in NYC's local economy. Owns a grand penthouse to. Carribbeans come to the US to work in American agencies, government offices, etc.

So you agree that the immigrants in SF have created the richest foreign population in the world? Why should we blame them for economically helping themselves and their new home country? DC, NYC, Houston, etc are a tier down IMO.

But what does that have to do with how diverse each region is?
Queens, NY is a lot like SF if you're looking for Asians. MIA is like SF in that one group dominates the demographics there.
Queens is a county but was surpassed by Houston's FBC recently. Won't be a shock if SF's Alameda surpassed Queens. You would have a point if the NYC metro was as diverse as Queens IMO.
