I'll admit it's anecdotal, but it is absolutely my experience having worked in tech for 15 years.
Maybe "dominated" is an extreme word, but I would put money on "over-represented".
Having worked in tech in California, I would say the opposite. Most of my coworkers were immigrants, and only happened to be white males if their origin country was in Europe (and only if their ancestors happened to be from there as well, my boss was Persian Swedish)
But I also worked with people from East Asia and South Asia as well, a lot of women and LGBT people.
It must be a regional thing, where other states are just a lot more white so you see more white people
