This totally has confounded me. Asians voted for Obama at over 70%! WTF?
Oh, I've heard that they don't like Bible-thumpers. But they as a group have NOTHING in common with what Obama represents.
These are hard working people who go from poverty to making it in america in ONE generation. Not multiple generations, like the Jews of the early 1900s.
I cannot believe they enjoy watching their hard earned money being vacuumed up by taxes, the incredible waste of tax dollars, the discrimination they face from inner-city Black-Americans (not to mention the violence they suffer from the same group), and the pushing of gay marriage.
In fact the Chinese are rather down on homosexuality in general.
What about Obama (and democrats) appeals to Asians at all?

I agree with you, it’s literally unimaginable.
But I would bet you real money that the effect is engineered by having a few dedicated liberal Chinese “community organizers” infiltrate the Chinese communities and very scientifically disinform them to vote en bloc Dem/Lib despite any apparent analysis an outsider might conduct. That is because >>their votes<< are being targeted, not their sentiments, not their aspirations. At the risk of overgeneralizing, urban Chinese are probably targeted based upon their intense care for family and their understanding that they are rather dependent upon their homogeneous communities. They are also not independent thinkers at that stage of their lives. Now a Chinese PHd working at TRW or some biotech co earning 6 figures and living in the suburbs? I can’t say how I’d think they would vote. But I doubt they are scientifically targetable as are urban recent Chinese immigrants.
