My experience with Koreans is the exact opposite. I’ve also noticed (my experience) that Southeast Asians are way more liberal than Koreans, Chinese, Japanese. There’s a big cultural divide between Northern & Southern Asians.’
The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans have been here a lot longer than the southeast Asians. They have established small businesses and generally speak good English. Also, the Japanese community is more anti Democrat due to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the camps that the Democrats sent them to.
Hopefully the southeast Asians, as they become more educated and leave their little Asian ghettos will become more Republican.
I've noticed the same thing. Koreans and Japanese tend to be affluent and successful, well-educated, and fluent in English by the first or second generation. Southeast Asians (especially Hmong) are much more likely to live in slums and collect welfare checks and food stamps. So they're more likely to vote for Democrats, for the same reason as blacks and Mexicans.
