"Asians’ll count as ‘diverse’ the moment the democrats gain 70% of their vote nationally."

One of the most dissappointing stats...I thought they were smarter.

I guess Asians weren't immune from an appeal to their sense of grievance after all.

More proof that in the current racially charged environment there is no such thing as a 'natural republican' non-white constituency.

I spoke to some friends of mine who are various Asians (one Indian, one Japanese and one Vietnamese) -- two are second generation and one is a recent migrant. All of them are GOP voters

I asked them why would "Asians" vote for the Dims -- Dim policies actually affect "Asians" -- these minorities are smarter, yet don't get enough places in college due to affirmative action. They are hard-working and save/invest their money, so why would they want it going as welfare? and they have strongly conservative social values

The answer from all three was the same -- they felt that it was primarily due to peer pressure and wanting to fit in with their white liberal friends.

Needless to say all 3 of these folks are proud to be independent thinkers and to speak their minds.
