Excited
You won’t be able to tell from Bravo’s Silicon Valley show, but Asian Americans now make up the majority of Tech workers in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. 2010 Census data reveals that the Asian American share gain of 11.4% from 2000 came mostly at the expense of white workers, whose share dropped 10.2%. Hispanic and African American share of tech workers also dropped. Not sure if these increases will change either the percentages of Asians in Management or people’s perceptions of who management should be.

Asians are a very diverse group. If anyone is interested, it should be broken down to specific ethnic groups, nationalities and whether they’re US citizens, residents, or other statuses. Other than that, I think a lot of people out there aren’t shockingly surprised at these statistics for Silicon valley.
If possible, the statistics for other hi-tech hubs, like in San Diego, Washington (State), Texas and other areas would be more interesting. A demographic change with other states, especially those far away from the West or East Coasts, would affect (for better or not) the image of Asians-Asian-Americans more than concentrations in certain areas like California.

Good idea – I think it would be very interesting to see this broken down by Asian subgroup and by status. I run into very few Filipino Americans working doing technical/engineering/research work in the valley and I wonder if my observations match the available data. Also, it would be interesting to see how many H1Bs there really are – and see if claims that they are pushing out Americans are true.
