“Speaks Asian?? Ok!”

LOL - that’s my swipe at the lily-white Republican Party leadership that assumes people who don’t look like them will never vote for them, so why bother trying to reach them - even when Republican values TOTALLY line up with theirs (as in the case of Asians, almost completely with Hispanics, and even quite a bit with blacks).

I see your point.

My wife who is a Japanese-American and born in NYC has made comments echoing what you said.

For example she was far more anti-Hillary then for Trump in 2016. To her (and she** would say to other Asians!) Trump is too immodest & ill-mannered. I think she may have a point at least in regard to Trump. The other problem is the GOP has allowed itself to be defined by the Rats to Asian Americans as racist, intolerant religiously & too Euro-centric to accept “others”. There is the other issue, the conservative message (again as defined by RATS) is viewed as overly emphasizing the individual meaning defined as selfish! There is a lot of contradiction in this (Humans being inconsistent whodathunk!) No one is more individually competitive then Asians! - maybe more so then Jews! And actually many of the same false notions that Jews have about conservatives apply to the Asian view!

Now why the **, my wife was born in NYC and lived there until she was 14. She has Trump’s accent & his bombast! Of course every time I point that out I have to run and hide! :)
