The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action once again highlighted an uncomfortable reality that a minority group (in this case, Asian Americans) mostly opposes a position held by the progressive movement and the Democratic Party. The response from the left was to depict Asian Americans — who, polls show, oppose the use of racial preferences in college admissions to increase diversity — as dupes or tools being used by white conservatives to attack other vulnerable minorities.

Basically, the white liberal writer of this article is saying, hey you asians, stay on the democrat plantation.

[packagingguy]

You can’t be a moderate and also a Democrat.

[Leep]

You’d be a confused RFK jr. supporter.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Jonathan wants you to stay on the plantation!

[vpintheak]

Correct. If you’re a Dem these days you are an extremist. One cannot ignore how bat crap crazy that party is and try to say you’re a moderate.

[Impala64ssa]

You can’t be a moderate and also a Democrat.
True, there hasn't been a moderate Dem since Mayor Ed Koch died. He called himself "a liberal with sanity". Other than his insufferable support of gun control, it was a pretty accurate description

[joma89]

Anyone who is a democrat, no matter their skin color, is the enemy.

[Steely Tom]

Uh oh. Lefties are using their power to redefine words again.

[MAAG]

If you didn’t vote for me, then you ain’t black.

Jonathan Chait is about as white as they come.

Another white liberal lecturing the minorities on what is expected of them.

The reality is the R and D are coalitions of strange bedfellows. There are a lot of Big government Peter Navarros types in the Trump coalition.

There are a lot of pro-gun, pro-life, pro-family types in the Democrat coalition.

Among Mexican immigrants, many are PAN social conservatives (see movie For Greater Glory with Andy Garcia) Some
Mexican immigrants are PAN Capitalist types.

So they are Democrat pawns?

At least until the right Republican comes along?

[ApplegateRanch]

[MinorityRepublican]

That’s Elon Musk. He’s probably on the Left on most of the issues.

[sauropod]

Jonathan Chait.

Yeah, right.

The real Democrat menace are the Afro Heritage minority-minority.

Such citizens may very well be former Democrats that can’t exist in a party that no longer exists. When they leave, it is an existential loss for the progressive Ameritrash
