I’ve always been baffled by this.
They arrive impoverished in many cases, stay married, eschew all homo and enviro propaganda, get robbed on the street, get marginalized by Hollywood, save their money, open small businesses (under assault by all manner of regulation):
AND THEN THEY VOTE DEMOCRAT.
This just does not compute to me.
I’m actually starting a correct messaging campaign, as their values align with ours. In general. My wife’s Asian.

The same is true for Jews. Not a whole lot of Jews benefit from the welfare state, they are discriminated against by "affirmative action," many are professionals or business owners who must submit to onerous regulations, and many support Israel, of which the Left in general and the Democrat Party in particular is not a friend. Yet they vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Asians don’t mind secular government programs, as far as I can tell. They think it’s part of being civic-minded, I think. Also, in our area, many of the public school teachers are Asians, so there is solidarity with Democrats in that regard. It’s true that many first-generation Asians own their own businesses, but that is not what they hope their children will be doing. When their children go to public schools and universities to become doctors and engineers, they come out Democrat.
As someone of Chinese descent, I can affirm the ‘divide and conquer’ mentality. The party operatives literally change their message depending upon the audience. It is sad. Also, the Dems will often make promises about government jobs and financial security w/o mentioning bothersome things like deficits and the national debt.
Many of my friends and I saw the light after college once we started buying property and dealt with the local bureaucrats.
Ask them what they fear/hate and you will come to understand the Democrats obsession with framing hate as the exclusive domain of white evangelicals.
They buy into minority victim hood status and view whites as oppressor
I mean who doesn’t really today?
Watch that recent video where the oriental guy goes PC ape when accused of being off the boat....like oh God he is so offended
