If you visit the suburban area of Fremont, which is in Silicon Valley's outback, you will find tremendous diversity behind the manicured lawns and middle america style neighbourhoods. If you visit the Trader Joes, or any of the malls, for example, you will see east Asians, Middle Eastern people and Southeast Asians, wearing robes of every type, in addition to the usual California mix of Anglo, African American, and Hispanic. "Cosmoburbs" are a key part of the Bay Area's success.
