Why the qualifier? It's in their self-interest no matter how defined, and financial isn't even the top vote getter. Freedom and Constitutional government, for example, is more important than money, per se.
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. . . )
Yeah, I wouldn’t count offending the occasional PC leftist as a disadvantage. You get to reach out to normal people AND get to offend leftards. It’s a win-win.
American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American.
For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.
Whether they be black, Mexican or Oriental, this is America and it MUST be kept 100% American! Otherwise, the Republic is in peril. Go Ted (Cruz) go! Go Sarah (Palin) go! Crush islam! Destroy the DemonRATS! Take America back by restoring the Biblical principles of the founders!
It’s hip to be evil scum?
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 article has serious holes, but don’t sell the points short. The Japanese internment for instance. Frankly the major Asian groups in the US, Chinese Vietnamese, Koreans and Filipinos, have little sympathy for the Japanese, in their home countries, and have little or nothing to do with Japanese-Americans. However the stress in the public schools is all about the Japanese internment- WWII as far as school history goes is just that and nothing else. The point made is that the white man is out to get you and will intern/deport you at anytime.
Asians also don’t get Republican news.
Much of the Republican media doesn’t go to these people.
Much is very culturally loaded with stuff that is just foreign. And the article is right in that the location of these populations does not help in terms of media and general social conditioning. If the Chinese were all going to Texas it would be very different.
What would help is some intelligent Chinese language outreach.
Filipinos, Vietnamese and Koreans are much more Republican BTW; the real problems are with Chinese. Japanese and Indians (so far) are too few to matter.
Great point, very true.
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.
Thanks for the mention. I understand what you’re saying, and you may be technically right.
I can’t separate the two when it comes to figuring out not to vote for someone. If you’re intelligent, you should be able to reason.
I do have a hard time thinking highly intelligent people can’t figure out not to vote for Obama.
Perhaps my logic is screwed up on this, but that’s my thought just the same.
Nice Re-Nortex.
That hits the target.
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.
Most Gen X'ers (which I am) have more important issues to worry about than homo marriage.
Millennials? That's another story.
This is so true. Fox needs an Asian and Hispanic network. (they just started a Hispanic group of stations but its small.) The media are running the policies in this country. If you want things to change we need to change the media. Stop paying for cable. Stop watching NBC. Understand that your sports channel is probably owned by a liberal media company like Comcast who owns MSNBC and NBC.
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.
(how the Republican leaders view their ‘Asian problem’)
It it anything like Austrian?
