The main problem, in one word:

College

2nd biggest problem: Public school indoctrination before college.

If you've read Animal Farm, think about Mollie's Children.

The first generation of each successive Asian-refugee mass-migration, such as the 1970s Vietnamese Boat People, hated Communists and by extension, their apologists, tended conservative, voted Republican, worked hard to build small businesses, and scraped and sacrificed to give their children better lives.

More than any other demographic, they drummed into their kid's heads 24x7 the importance of education. "WHAT?!? You got a B in Algebra??? You *like* bringing shame on our family?"

The kids were the valedictorians and with their scholarships combined with their parents' savings, they got into the best colleges and continued working their butts off to become highly paid doctors & engineers.

But just as with White parents, they chose to avert their eyes from what was gradually happening to their children's politics.

"Well yeah, ok, so my kid now votes Democrat, and he goes on annual pilgrimages to Saul Alinsky's & Howard Zinn's tombs. But hey, he pulls down a 6-figure salary! So it evens out".

Mollie's Children.

Clarification: I’m responding solely to a post about Asian-American generational politics.
