The problem is one of individual vs. societal. Many Hispanics are personally conservative (pro-life, etc.) but vote Democrat because they see themselves as a group, not individuals and the groupthink tells them to vote for the party that gives their group handouts.

This is not uncommon among black thinking either.

The Asian communities, OTOH, tend to not do this even though they have strong community identity. I believe they have ingrained in them a much stronger sense of self-reliance.
