On the other hand, I'd say most of the population surrounding the Google HQ are there because they got employed by Google or another tech company, not the other way around. The pool of candidates for these companies is global (restricted to the quotas the visas allow).

That isn’t true historically, it definitely wasn’t true in the late 19th century when Asian immigration to the bay area started, nor after the Vietnam war. The Bay Area has attracted Asians way before google or even tech existed there.

Well of course. I was just counterpointing to my parent, that comparing Google employee demographics to the demographics of the area around HQ doesn't really tell us anything.
