Liberals were in for a surprise when legal Asian immigrant families fought back at their efforts to dump the homeless of Orange County into their ICity of Irvine community, thinking that since they were Asians, they wouldn't complain.
Apparently, they complained mightily, as this story in the Los Angeles Times shows:
Many of the loudest voices in the movement to block the shelter plan were Chinese Americans who came together through social media apps and various community groups. They were joined by immigrants from South Korea, India, Mexico and the Middle East, along with some whites.
They rallied to protect their community from what they see as the ills of homeless camps, which many argued don't belong in their famously clean, safe, family-oriented planned community. Their protests helped persuade the Orange County Board of Supervisors to overturn the shelter proposal, leaving the county without a homeless plan at a time when the population is growing and officials are shutting down tent cities along the Santa Ana River.
The people they didn't want dumped into their community to mix it up with their school children and tiger moms were these:

According to MyNewsLA.com, the cleanup of this Santa Ana River camp has left 404 tons of garbage, 13,950 needles, and 5,279 pounds of human waste. You kind of wonder who had to count those needles and weigh all the vomit and excrement.
Sound like great neighbors for property values and schoolchildren safety.
Which of course is why they protested.
And it makes sense that they did. Demographically, they do have many growing young families in their numbers, with two-parent households, productive employment, and a community itself that is vibrant and growing.

Absolutely true. Leftists don't bother much with "Asians" because they are politically docile. The Left believe they can rope Asians into their tent with cliches about "people of color." Below the surface, that doesn't play will with Asians, particularly those Americans of East-Asian descent, because being among the highest earning, most employed, most educated, and culturally conservative groups, they are, in fact, punished by the Left constantly.
I am so proud of them...it is far too easy to acquiesce than protest. It seems safer and less expensive. But, in the long run it isn’t.
Yay!! Yay!! for Legal immigrants!!
Democrat social engineering facing pushback from Democrats.
OC used to be GOP but those days are long gone.
asian groups don’t complain, they send leaders to meet with pelicans and threaten them subtly and quietly. Saw it half a dozen times in the bay area and Sacto. For them to go public means some politicians refused to give the what they want.
Love that photo.
Anchorage is the dumping ground for the entire State of Alaska.
Great fun for local taxpayers
Soon the more thoughtful immigrants will come to realize that if they reflexively continue to support Democrats, their new country will soon come to resemble what they fled.
me tooo, as much as the gun grabbers hate it...
That’s how it’s done. Good job, people of City of Irvine.
Completely destroyed it. It looks like a war zone now, empty buildings, vacant lots, trash and graffiti everywhere.
That may be so, but here in NJ, at least, they nevertheless vote 'RAT.
Wonder if the bears say, “Hey! This is OUR gig!!!”
That’s heartbreaking.
Burn it.
Plant some grass and trees.
It would appear that many choose to be squatters rather then live in more substantial homes
The squatters have homes but they choose canvas and nylon over brick and mortar
I live in Eagle River. You are spot on.
Oh no. That would be racist.
And that would require Asians to care about something other than their property values.
