My observation would be that the word Asian covers a whole lot of cultures, languages and races. East Asians will usually adapt to the political environment they live in or will be apolitical and hope for the best. San Francisco’s Chinese have only become active outside their neighborhood recently and are liberal to compete. The Japanese in Hawaii are liberal to compete. Southeast Asians are more conservative as are Indians. The Muslims are Muslim. Competitiveness seems the common thread, thus the students. Pandering will work only so far as it aids success. Most are sincere Americans though some Chinese are still wed to China.

I could never figure any Asian being liberal. It seems to go against everything they actually practice. Hard work, long hours,learning English, being reliable etc.
I've never seen an Asian person looking for a handout, but a lot of their politicians and voters certainly do.
