Asian language is the opposite of the Mexican language, which I see conservatives mention often.
I suspect there are many reasons involved in how Asians vote. In IL one major factor is that Asian (and Hispanic) businessmen feel like they are constantly harassed by local governments that are Republican. The health inspector, zoning inspector, tax collector often work for a Republican mayor.
Another reason is that the Republicans ask the ethnic businessmen for campaign donations and imply that it will get the inspectors off their back. But asking for money is the only time they see the Republican.
Another reason is lack of understanding of the ethnic culture. I’ll use Mexicans as the example. Most Mexican businessmen come from the PAN party of Mexico which is known in Mexico as the party of small businessmen and devout Catholics (It also has a few libertarian leaning types.)
Fox was a libertarian leaning PAN President of Mexico. Calderon was very much a social conservative PAN President of Mexico. But most Republicans (and freepers) are ignorant of this. They assume all Mexicans are alike. Furthermore these Republicans/Conservatives assume that all Mexicans including small businessmen are in the PRI party, which is the party of big government and corporatist corruption. They don’t even make a distinction between the PRI party and the very small PRD party, which is the party of the Occupy Wallstret types in Mexico.
The same divisions exist in India. Some Indians are one way, some are the other way. But Republicans/conservatives tend to assume they are all alike. People resent it when they are mis-labeled.
Tell me what is the Mexican language? And tell me what is the Asian language?
So, could the average Cherokee or Lakota easily communicate with a typical tourist from India?
