“nor will the Chinese/Vietnamese/Filipinos be enough to overcome the white liberal/hispanic Dem vote in Cali.”
Spoken like a true Republican leader (again, no offense intended, just trying to make another point). According the US Census, there are twice as many Asians in California as blacks - yet it was the blacks who were able to keep marriage between a man and a woman on the Prop. 8 vote (and now they’re HATED by the gays). Also as the Democrats have proven with Jews, you don’t need a lot of people, but you do need them to be unified and not afraid to give you money.

My brother is married to a Filipina and she has assimilated very well.
In L.A., I have surprisingly met conservative Filipinos and a majority of them are libs. The victimhood mentality is hard to fight. There are exceptions..
One Fil conservative a year ago yelled at his other lib comrades at a party I attended and asked “why are you Democrats when they hate Christianity, marriage and making money”? The Philippines is the only Christian (91%) nation in Asia.
