I was shocked to learn that this voting block votes liberal, because as a whole, they are very hard working individuals. It doesn’t make sense unless it is where they live and settle.

Could it be that they vote liberal because they know that they are succeeding much more so than blacks and hispanics in acedemics, business, etc., and WANT to keep the others at the bottom of the pile (which is what liberal politics does)?

It does make sense if you take into consideration the fact that the Democrats and the MSM have successfully managed to portray conservative opposition to illegal immigration as opposition to legal immigrants. Conservatives haven't been able to been able to fight this smear, and the small segment that rails against all immigration, legal or not, hasn't helped.

Even though they are highly educated and paid, a lot of Asians don’t make it into management (upper or otherwise) because of their English/social skills. So, they end up working for white people who they may consider to be inferior in terms of technical skill. I think this grates on many of them, even (as is noted) they do much better than the average white.

Import more Filipinos. They are the best and hardest working people I’ve ever known. They are reliably republican voters all in all.

As for other Asians, I agree with you that where they live is a big factor. Here in Hawaii the Japanese/Chinese run the democrat government. I go into DOE - Dept of Education - offices and it is 80% Japanese/Chinese. Likewise just about everywhere else.

Racial politics, esp in Hawaii is fascinating. The Japanese and Chinese hold the other races down including us haoles. Filipinos and Hawaiians are at the bottom rung of the ladder.

The difference is that Filipinos work hard to strive and see the republican party as their only way up. Hawaiians mostly depend on Santa Claus.

That, also, is puzzling to me.

They support democrats for the same reasons as the rest, folks. They want government support.

Where I live recently arrived (within the past 20 years) 'asians', or whatever specific ethnicity makes up asians, usually have at least one family member on public assistance, usually granny or grandaddy. The cost of the old folks far exceeds the cost in addn'l taxes Jr and his wife would pay to support them.

It should be no mystery anymore - people vote for whomever puts the most $$$ in their pocket.
