> However, most Asians (and even Europeans) prefer to stay on the coast due to the storied past, Silicon Valley name recognition, socially liberal policies, huge diversity, access to ethnic food etc. Tell that to the huge Asian population in Dallas. It's not quite the Midwest, but it's still the Great Plains and the culture is similar. The Indian and Chinese food here is second to none, and we're one of the most diverse metro areas in the country. Also, while Asians may prefer the Democrats' stances on immigration, they are often deeply socially conservative, just as much as any white Southern Baptist, and they tend to form extremely conservative ethnic enclaves.
