I don't even know how LA could be considered. For years it was the epitome of terrible black/Asian relations. I grew up there and at best Asian parents wouldn't let their kids date black kids. More times than not they wouldn't even let their kids hang out together.
If you're talking about Mexican Asian relationships, LA does well there. But not black/Asian relationships.

Depends...The 1st generation immigrants specifically from Korea def had a problem with Black People which boiled over during the Rodney King Riots. Their kids don't all hold the same attitudes as there parents once did, thank god. I mean....Roy Choi opened his new fast food concept called LOCO'L to Watts. He wanted to help a community full of blacks and hispanics that made a difference. Korean's have also elected black council members to represent them. In terms of dating and relationships. Yes, there are many Korean parents who won't let there kids date a japanese person or chinese person let alone a black guy. In my experience, I knew a lot of Koreans who didn't give a **** what there parents said when it came to that.
Read this article in the L.A. times that was published about Koreans dating in the age of tinder.
Black and Philipenos is the best relation. Then Samoan, Veitmanese, Chinese, and older Japanese as there are still older Japanese that still live in places like Liemert Park. I remember my aunt who went to Dorsey, her class pictures were mostly black and japanese people.

College towns may actually do good in this regard due to many Black and Asian residents and students being from outside of the country and are more likely to interact.
Asians who were born abroad are not huge fans of blacks, from what I've heard many of them express. They're not huge fans of each other either. I maintain that the most bigoted language I've ever heard came from a Korean talking about Japanese people. It was shocking.
This is a weird question, since most Asians in America spend their time trying to cozy up to, live among, and be accepted by whites, and so for the most part, otherwise very rarely ever deal with or interact with any other non-Asian groups of people. Especially not with many black people, unless you are talking about the Asian business owner types who normally set up shop in black neighborhoods.
The Bay Area, specifically the greater East Bay( Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, San Joaquin counties)wins this imo--perfect doesnt exist anywhere but the diaspora of asian and blacks in the East Bay seems to have occurred in the same physical locations.

From my experience, Korean and Japanese( perhaps because of greater affluence) tend to stick to themselves far more so than Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians in the Bay who tend to live in closer proximity to Blacks and Hispanics-Chinese too sorta.
