SF is whiter than LA, San Jose, Oakland, Long Beach and Fresno. It is less white than Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and San Diego. That puts SF in the middle of the pack of large West Coast municipalities, not at the top nor the bottom, when it comes to the percentage of residents who are white.

San Francisco is very unique. It and some of the immediate surrounding areas (Oakland, Berkley, etc...) fit in with each other like NYC boroughs in some respects but are not municipally connected like New York's sections, and thus skew and create a different picture of the area's makeup and ethnic fabric.

Bingo.
