being well educated as a group, Asian Americans may be disturbed by the hostility to science, particularly evolutionary biology, which Republican supporters and politicians have exhibited of late.

If this is true, then Asians are not nearly as smart as assumed. When the government robs you of most of your money and your freedom, creation vs. evolution will be the last thing on your mind.

I'm Not too sure I buy this nonsense about Republicans being anti-science. Having worked with a few Chinese nationals I have noticed that they are very smart and good technicians, until something out of the ordinary happens. Then they need to be told exactly how to proceed. IMHO it comes from living under an authoritarian system (I noticed the same thing with many of the Russian nationals). You never want to think outside of the box lest the authorities notice you. Let's translate that to the election. If you have the mindset of the government telling you what to do , who will you vote for? The guy who says "free markets", and "you can make it on your own or possibly fail" OR the party of "I'll take care of you no matter what , you just need to support me"?

I have no statistical proof for this , just my own observation for what it's worth.

Good point. I bet you cannot find a 2012 exit poll anywhere that says that evolution is the number one issue, or even in the top ten.

Most Dem don’t like Republican social conservatives for two reasons —

(1) Because social cons don’t think the government should honor and recognize anal sex
(2) Social cons oppose sleeping around and having lots of abortions.

It’s that simple.
