The majority of the Asian population is clustered in California and the southwestern United States. Historically speaking, this makes sense as large numbers of Chinese immigrants came to California to help build the transcontinental railroad. In addition, California is a developed economy with the Silicon Valley having many Asian engineers and a corresponding dark spot denoting a higher percentage of the population being Asian. There are also several clusters of dark spots throughout the United States, in the areas that denote economic centers and metropolis economic activity that have specialized jobs that Asians partake in. This again makes sense as if Asian's first came here as immigrants than they would need jobs (offered only in large cities or areas of advanced technological innovation).
