...but recognize that ethnicity doesn't determine ideology.

Good luck advancing that concept around here. I'm afraid you have your work cut out for you. [SIGH.]

Probably true, unfortunately. I know two Americans of Chinese extraction (fairly recent, no more than 1st or 2nd generation born here) who would put the lie to that. The one I can name publicly, since he's run for public office, is Art Hu -- remember the chant in the Republican state convention in Spokane, 2000: "Who? Hu! WHO? HU!". The other is a home-schooler, Christian, activist and somewhere to my right.

I remember hearing that the Republicans can't automatically write off the Asian community as leftist/socialist/communist. Those who have their own businesses tend to be quite sharp and over here the leftist/socialist/communist politicos don't provide them with the best environment in which they can (personally) prosper.
