Seattle and San Francisco are definitely two cities that seem whiter than their respective metro areas.
I was going to say KC is pretty white but the metro area actually has decent amounts of minorities in most areas. KCK has a large Hispanic population and Johnson County has a fairly sizable Asian and Hispanic population. Still it’s fairly white overall.
SF always scream to me as a metro area with large AAPI population more than being white. White is not even a majority (only a plurality at something like 40%) in the whole Bay Area.
The SF proper is not even that white, either, at 42% White and 33% Asian.
The metro areas that scream "white" to me are usually in the Midwest anyway. Even a metro area like Indy (which does have a sizable AfAm population in "inner city") is 70% White. For comparison Seattle metro area is only ~60% White thanks to Asians forming 15% of the population.
Ahhhh .... what happened to Chicago, Detroit Motown, Philadelphia, Oakland California, Memphis, St Louis, New Orleans????
Except the OP is looking at Metro Area, not within city limit.
Detroit? Outside of Detroit city limit and perhaps Southfield it's very white.
St Louis? Good luck finding a non-White out in St Charles County MO.
Memphis? Go to Germantown TN and tell me how many non-White person are there.

San Antonio and Miami feels more non-white to me thanks to the large Hispanic population in both. White still forms a plurality in both DC Metro area (Lots of them are in NoVA even though the area itself is also somewhat diverse with Asian and Hispanics) and also Atlanta metro area (North of I-20 is basically all White mixed in Asians and Hispanics particularly in Gwinnett County).

Seattle has a small percentage of African Americans, and with the gentrification there will be even less. Still, it's not one of the "most white", at 65% white. They are a majority, but Asians are 16.3% and growing, Black or African American: 7.06%.
Back in 2010, Seattle was 69.5% white, 13% Asian, 8% Black.
Is there a sizable Asian population in the core city?
no
