Same reason everyone is turning their backs-they are democrat lite and McCain/Graham/Christie/GOProud is now the face of the party.

That's most certainly NOT the reason.

Sadly, it's precisely the opposite. Minorities do not tend to believe in limited government. A generation ago, a majority of Asians supported the GOP because of their anti-communism stand. Now that the cold war is over, even Asians feel free to join nearly every other minority group and vote for ever bigger government. These people are simply not educated and steeped in the ideas of limited government. If you really believe just being more conservative is enough to win these groups you're nuts.

Asians in general are collectivists, as are Hispanics. End of story and Country.

It's politics by fantasy.

With exceptions that prove the rule, you are right.

As long as the democrats & media can continually highlight race and ethinicity, minorities will feel embattled and look to government to empower them.

Its as simple as that. I don't know how the GOP can overcome this media-reinforced ignorance.

I think your post #7 is right on target.

Agreed. So the GOP has a choice. Either start pandering like the Dem's do (promising all sorts of free things), or stop being competitive in national races. It's an ugly choice, to be sure.
