Liberals were in for a surprise when legal Asian immigrant families fought back at their efforts to dump the homeless of Orange County into their ICity of Irvine community, thinking that since they were Asians, they wouldn't complain.
Apparently, they complained mightily, as this story in the Los Angeles Times shows:
Many of the loudest voices in the movement to block the shelter plan were Chinese Americans who came together through social media apps and various community groups. They were joined by immigrants from South Korea, India, Mexico and the Middle East, along with some whites.
They rallied to protect their community from what they see as the ills of homeless camps, which many argued don't belong in their famously clean, safe, family-oriented planned community. Their protests helped persuade the Orange County Board of Supervisors to overturn the shelter proposal, leaving the county without a homeless plan at a time when the population is growing and officials are shutting down tent cities along the Santa Ana River.
The people they didn't want dumped into their community to mix it up with their school children and tiger moms were these:

According to MyNewsLA.com, the cleanup of this Santa Ana River camp has left 404 tons of garbage, 13,950 needles, and 5,279 pounds of human waste. You kind of wonder who had to count those needles and weigh all the vomit and excrement.
Sound like great neighbors for property values and schoolchildren safety.
Which of course is why they protested.
And it makes sense that they did. Demographically, they do have many growing young families in their numbers, with two-parent households, productive employment, and a community itself that is vibrant and growing.

Lived in Palmdale back in the 50’s and 60’s, it was a nice town.
Used to just step out the front door and walk out into the foothills to hunt quail and cotton tail rabbits.
It started turning into sh!t after the 65 Watts riots, a lot of those people started moving up there to get away from the ghetto, they just brought it with them.
Left for the Marine Corps in late 67 and never looked back.
Have a brother that still lives in the area; Palmdale, Littlerock, and Lancaster are all overrun by LA gang bangers and wetbacks now.
Brother lives out in Juniper Hills, far enough out he doesn’t have to put up with their crap except when he goes into town.
Does Zappa’s “Village of the Sun” make you nostalgic?
Except they all vote Dimocrat.
Yeah, it does.
Frank was a local boy, even played at our high school dances.
Makes me laugh that most people will never know what happened to the “Village of the Sun”.
It changed a lot in the late 60’s.
I rarely feel the sting of jealousy but that was definitely it right now.
I never heard about this one. I can only imagine what would happen if these same business owners took a stand like this now.
