When looked at in this way, the move to bring millions of third-world immigrants into the American welfare state is obvious and inevitable.
The Asian American vote used to be more Republican that the white vote. Increasing awareness in the community about the outsized negative impact of racial quotas on them should eventually shift Asians back towards the GOP. Jews have traditionally not been affected as much by racial quotas, since they're lumped in with the massive white bucket, so they should continue being relatively liberal.
The bad guys are the party of victims and weirdos.
How did we lose the Asian-American vote? They seem to be ready made for the Republican vote!
White voters stayed away from Romney
The GOP hasn't exactly been doing very much to stop the third world influx. The most recent GOP Presidential nominees and the most recent GOP President all favored amnesty and liberal immigration policies.
Erosion of monolithic support among African Americans, many of whom are crypto-conservatives
We've heard talk about how blacks are "natural conservatives" who will return to their Republican roots for decades now, but voting patterns don't seem to match the reality of 95% of the black vote going to Obama in both elections. Blacks may be conservative on some social issues, but they'll overwhelmingly vote for the party of affirmative action, racial quotas, and the welfare state.
Let me guess - the remedy for this is more GOP support for amnesty, right?
The reason Romney lost the election wasn't because he didn't pander enough to minorities. It was because he didn't offer the conservative base enough reasons to go out and vote for him.
I really wish that someone would kill this "redemptive Hispanic vote" trope that's taken hold among the GOP establishment and instead focus on reality: holding onto a conservative base that opposes amnesty and supports immigration restrictions, i.e. giving enough reason for existing GOP voters to actually turn out and vote for you rather than chasing a largely non-existent "minority" base.
The RINOView perspective
Thanks for the chart!
My experience with Koreans is the exact opposite. I’ve also noticed (my experience) that Southeast Asians are way more liberal than Koreans, Chinese, Japanese. There’s a big cultural divide between Northern & Southern Asians.
Sick of the identity politics. How about we elect the best person, the person who upholds conservative principles and respects the Constitution?
The media bias is very strong, Asian media and stuff are very biased too.
It was pretty close this time though, 50-49 on Tuesday
I agree completely.
However, if A-A support for Democrats falls even from 95% to 85%, it could make a big difference.
Don't forget: the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union looked as hard as a rock right up until it collapsed, revealing that there was nothing behind the façade.

The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans have been here a lot longer than the southeast Asians. They have established small businesses and generally speak good English. Also, the Japanese community is more anti Democrat due to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the camps that the Democrats sent them to.
Hopefully the southeast Asians, as they become more educated and leave their little Asian ghettos will become more Republican.
A better idea—the republican party should do conservative things.
if this draws in more minorities, great, if it doesn’t then that’s the way it goes.
I wish everyone, everyone would shut up about race. I don’t care about it. I do not want to vote or be calculated as something to do with my skin color or religion. And I want to treat others the way I want to be treated.
Why is nobody chasing them?
OTOH, the eligible Hispanic vote is 10% and they cast 8.5% of all votes in 2012. Less than the 12% cast by Blacks.
TOGETHER they constitute less than 1/3 of the White vote.
The more Democrats pander for Black and Hispanic votes, the more Whites will vote GOP.
This is not an issue.
Politically, there is no such creature as a "Hispanic" except for those already indoctrinated hyphenated Americans that have already drank the koolaid. As noted in the article, Cubans have very different concerns than Mexicans. What is this "Asian" they are chasing? A South Korean has an entirely different cultural background, education level, and motivation from the average Laotian...or maybe we "Asian" is really a term for "Chinese"...then again, are these Taiwanese or escapees from Hong Kong? Not even similar people except in the lefts political racial term.
These group definitions can only work as race baiting political terms at least in part because the very definition of who these people are changes. There are often shift for a host of reasons as to who is coming here and why. I doubt crafting a message appealing to Japanese engineers is particularly useful, there aren't enough Japanese to go around in Japan let alone here. So craft it to appeal to mainland Chinese farmers...Oops, the political situation shifts and now we are awash in South Koreans.
Stop with the stupidity. Fire any political adviser on the Right even talking in these terms.
Principals that are the core of Conservatism will appeal immigrants regardless of that persons origin. Get the conservative message out and stop losing at the lefts rigged game.
I've noticed the same thing. Koreans and Japanese tend to be affluent and successful, well-educated, and fluent in English by the first or second generation. Southeast Asians (especially Hmong) are much more likely to live in slums and collect welfare checks and food stamps. So they're more likely to vote for Democrats, for the same reason as blacks and Mexicans.
I've always been saying the same thing. What does a Cuban businessman in Miami have in common with a Mexican migrant farm laborer in southern California, or with some cholo in east LA?
