It’s interesting the question’s being asked in the first place because the classic example of the Asian ethnoburb in North America is the San Gabriel Valley/626 and is actually the area which led to the creation of the term. Within California, it’s pretty well known that Asian ethnoburbs are a thing and places like Westminster, the SGV and Fremont have a connotation  but for whatever reason, there’s a perception outside the state that LA and especially the Bay Area are a lot whiter than they actually are.

I as I type this am sitting right on the edge of high concentrations of Asians, particularly Indian Asians, one of whom we met in a dog park in the Newport neighborhood. We now go on outings together, yesterday's adventure being going for lunch to an Gujarati Indian restaurant in Sayreville, itself on the edge of another major Asian node in Edison. I was the only white person to be seen, and was eating the least spicy food in the establishment. Man it was delicious, and when we got home, of course it was nap time. All very seemingly Indian that. That is what it is all about.



Dunno if Newport and Journal Square fit the burb part of ethnoburb Tongue
