I hope sticking it to whitey is worth it.
I don’t understand the GOP. All these deficits and upcoming disasters in SS and Medicare and not a peep to the Xers and Milennials. FAR more important to them than “homosexual marriage” and this other stuff. At least it should be. Those generations are getting screwed, as well as their future children and grandchildren.
And Asians? Ever heard of “affirmative action”? Code words for racism and quotas against Asians. Stop pandering to blacks, they’re never vote Republican. So use the inherent unfairness of quotas/preferences, etc. against them and appeal to Asian work ethics, achievement, sense of fairness, family. Don’t let the Demonrats establish the narrative with false “diversity” BS. Merit is what matters and this should be what’s important.
This is something I don’t understand.
Many of these people are industrious and intelligent.
Certainly they must see who Obama’s other supporters are, and that many of them are neither of these things.
Don’t they resent that even a little. Don’t they resent that Obama wants to take their earnings to support his followers? This is strange to me.
Who are we calling “Asians” these days?
Asians vote for Democrats, they vote for “diversity”.
That means more big dummies getting in (over their kids) and getting straight `A’s in ethnic studies programs.
Too bad. but maybe Asians aren’t as smart as their grades.
“So far Republican politicians have been relatively quiet about this issue.”
And therein lies the problem: Cowards.
BTW, I’ve found that Asians, esp those with an accent, DO appreciate asking about their heritage. This “you don’t belong here” is PC poop. People do not like to be ignored, they like to be engaged in conversation, and they especially like to talk about themselves. If one is uncomfortable striking up s conversation, do some research. Learn some names, some geography, come culture, some language. One of best ways to break the ice is to greet someone in their native language. I’ve yet to find anyone “offended” by this, even when I’ve guessed wrong. Usually it evokes a chuckle, the ice is nevertheless broken.
And in the rare occasion some left winger might be “offended” . .screw em, move on the next person. I gladly and proudly share my heritage, even when others have mistaken me for another ethnicity or religion. So what? Some people need to grow up and also grow some nads. Asian Americans should firmly be in the Republican and Conservative camps. Demonrats offer nothing to them, just quotas and lipservice.

I don’t know.
An immigration law passed in 1882 is the same as Roosevelt sending Japanese to camps and taking their property?
Republicans rail and rail about improving education and education-fixated Asians don’t notice?
Republicans have been decrying racial selection in jobs and education (which disadvantages Asians) for a long time. And do Asians care when the abuse of H1B visas are clobbering Americans who have held those jobs?
Of course Republicans need to show up but if Asians are all in urban areas there aren’t a vast number of Republicans that are near by.
Its interesting, the democrats have done a good job of being both for and against immigration. In fact they are for Mexican immigration and Unions have been against all immigration. But Asian think that democrats are for immigration for Asians. Not true.
Asians are actually hurt by most progressive policies that allow quotas on Asians at colleges and jobs. For instance, Hispanics are considered a protected group. But Asians are not. When it comes to silicon valley, the story is that its all white. That could not be further from the truth. Its very Asian. When they mean silicon valley needs to be more inclusive, they mean fire Asians and hire blacks.
But Asians live in the cities and the west coast. So they hear democrat propaganda all the time. They do not know and have no experience with the old laws of discrimination referred to in this article. And if they say that they are a minority to a black person they will be quickly corrected. The reality is that Asians are often more racists against dark skinned people than anyone. In China, having dark skin is a sign of a lower class farmer family. And they can be quite blunt in their rebuffs of lower class individuals.
I believe Asians will start to vote republican in the future as they start to realize that their self interest is with the republican party and not the democrats.
Their % participation vote is marginally greater than other minorities but not enough to Give. A. F*ck. as they are self-interred almost entirely in Blue states...
Interesting read...but if Asians think the Dems will support them...they are lost.
Asians feel a chip on their shoulder about being nerdy. So they vote in a way to feel hipper.
its called the welfare state
So, as far as the GOP is concerned, the problem is that Asians just vote. . . . Wong ???
(diving for cover, grinning madly. . . )
There is your main answer.
Many of the Asian Americans came here for higher education in an environment >95% (if not >98%) skewered towards liberal and progressive group think.
Most of these fresh Asian Americans tend to have only superficial experience with general population. As they (I was one of them) encounter nothing but lib talking points from their professors and peers in the first few (let's say 4 -5) years of coming over here, it leaves a DEEP impression.
And I know, from personal experience, that I wanted to be accepted into the group so very much, I thought I was leaning towards Dem the first ten years or so since I came here.
What is the remedy for that? There is no strong Republican counter group(s) on campuses as yet.
The GOP has a problem with Big Government loving crooks running the party. Any other problems are a consequence of that.
Indians[Bobby Jindal] overwelhming vote Dem. The last I saw, it was 4 to 1. The only 'Asians' that vote GOP are the Christians, the same goes for Indians.
You ask why Asians vote for Dems? It’s because that is all that they hear on their ethnic news outlets. I once asked the group of Korean high school students that I was teaching, if the Korean radio and TV stations in Los Angeles showed any bias. They said that they were COMPLETELY for Dems. They NEVER heard a good word about Republicans on the ethnic media. Unfortunately, it seems like the ethnic media people try to imitate the biased mainstream white media. That is what Univision (Mexican-American TV) does and that is what the Asian media outlets are also doing.
Latinos and Asians tend to immigrate from countries that are heavily statist. Not surprising that they’d tend to vote for Uncle Sugar Democrats, particularly when the media and pop culture belittle capitalism and economic independence.
Asian is not a hard language to learn and if we Republicans can’t find anyone who speaks Asian, then it isn’t our fault that we cannot relate to voters that speak that language.
