If you’re looking for an environment with Asians, California cannot be beat; because it’s the “landing” for a large portion of Asian immigrants, Los Angeles has an extremely vibrant Asian community. The Midwest, and in particular St. Louis, is not diverse in that respect. (California is 13% Asian, whereas Missouri is 3%.) The proportion of Asians at USC is not very relevant here; what matters is that LA is very much a hub for Asians. I would go with USC, especially since your D hates the winter.
