Between 1980 and 2010, he said, the Asian population in the Bay Area increased 300 percent.

Nationwide, the Asian population increased 27.7 percent from 2010 to 2018, making it the fastest growing racial group, the census reported. The nation’s population of white residents increased 0.1 percent.

That's a lot of H-1B visas.

“These patterns of racial segregation are not ‘natural,’ or simply the result of individual housing preferences, but the byproduct of exclusionary policies as well as private housing discrimination,” Gambhir said.
I had an apartment building manager in Burlington, MA only tell me 'very expensive' when I inquired about the rent. I never got an actual quote. From observation it appeared they only wanted to rent to people from india and didn't want any Americans there.

Asia is big. East Asians or South Asians?

Are Southeast Asians (Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, etc.), West Asians (Turks, Arabs, Armenians, Iranians, Israelis, etc.) or North Asians (Yakuts, Chukchis, Nenets, etc.) also included?

The MSM is lumping them all together now. These are called "Asians" similar to how inner city criminals are called "teens."

I’m pretty sure it’s most East and Southeast Asians in the Bay Area. This is the Wiki language breakdown for San Franscisco from 2010. The biggest Asian language groups are Chinese, Tagalog (Philippines), Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean. Middle Eastern and South Asian languages don’t even register a blip.

“As of 2010, 54.58% (411,728) of San Francisco residents aged five and older spoke only English at home, while 18.60% (140,302) spoke a Chinese language, 11.68% (88,147) Spanish, 3.42% (25,767) Tagalog, 1.86% (14,017) Russian, 1.45% (10,939) Vietnamese, 1.05% (7,895) French, 0.90% (6,777) Japanese, 0.88% (6,624) Korean, 0.56% (4,215) German, 0.53% (3,995) Italian, and Pacific Islander languages were spoken by 0.47% (3,535).”
