Asian-Americans are VERY socially liberal. This isn’t an economic issue so much as a social one. They overwhelmingly favor gay marriage and abortion. This isn’t a demographic we are going to get ... or want.

Sad but very very true.

Not very very true, but very sad that you think that way.

Most Asians in America have very traditional values regarding religion, families, economics, etc. They should be on our side (and some of them are).

Problem is, many have been brainwashed by the liberal establishment in America.

While they were busy studying mathematics and science in high school and college, Asians were also getting a "liberal" dose of Anti-Americanism in their social studies and history classes.

Since they were taught never to question teachers, Asian kids swallowed the poison and refocused on classes that they were interested in.

A lot of Asians don't care so much about politics, and they can be easily influenced in these matters. Someone just needs to let them know that liberal Democrat policies (that they heard from academia) are wrong and against their self-interest.

Don't count them out so easily.

Sounds like you have a handle on the situation. How about you get on that. I've got one Chinese friend (been here since he was 11) I've been working on for a few weeks now. Here's the problem: I've known this guy for almost 20 years, and 15-20 years ago he would have laughed at the very concept of gay marriage, the same way one might laugh at the idea of building houses out of ice cream. Now, he's completely invested in the whole gay marriage thing, and I think that, along with abortion, free goodies for welfare mommas, and Obamacare, was the main reason he voted Obama (his head almost popped when I told him Romney was actually pro-gay, pro-abortion, and created RomneyCare).

It's almost a tribal thing; once people decide that they are "Democrats", they then slowly absorb every aspect of the Democrat propaganda over time, especially since TV and movies are all leftwing propaganda all the time. 15 years of letting the brainwashing take hold without questioning it, all because he decided he was a Democrat.
