re: What's the cause in Asian-Americans voting overwhelmingly Dem now?

Do you know any Indians/Chinese people that are not college educated?

There are several Billion such people on earth. Are you arguing for Trumps merit based immigration policies?

I would be fine with them but he has put zero effort into pushing them into law and then rails on the tech companies in CA for hiring Asian programmers

While the Republican Party has stayed mostly white, the Democrats have added a lot of diversity to their delegations

There are a lot more black democrats in Congress because there are a lot more black democrats in the population. A much bigger pool to draw from. I believe if black people really looked introspectively and examined the issues one by one they would find that they align with Republicans more than democrats. Black people are more than welcome in the Republican Party but we can’t force them to switch sides.

people with college degrees pay on average >80% more than those with just a high school diploma —if that matters at all. I am starting to shift into the camp where those that pay more should have a stronger say, though I know I am a minority in this.

They also tend to be quite well educated, and college educated voters have shifted heavily toward the Democratic Party

That's because in all your colleges Democrats are the one doing the "educating".

I think what is often lost in conversation like this is that Asians don't vote as a monolith. Different subgroups and ethnicities within the Asian diaspora have different motivations. They might be voting for the same party, but it might be because of completely different reasons.

My community, Indians, for example are for most parts college educated. Republicans are struggling in general among the college graduate demographics. So that might explain why Indians are voting Democrats. Indians are perhaps more concentrated on urban areas which generally are left leaning areas as well.

Bottom line is there is no simple answer to this complicated question.

Clinton won those with a college degree by 5 points and those with a postgraduate degree by >20 points. Hillary took younger voters / Trump older voters so that plays to the income piece of it. I do remember the income splits in 2016 being really close. Hillary did carry the counties that make up 2/3 of US GDP.

very vocally anti-immigration

Horse shite. Republicans are very vocally against criminal illegal aliens. They have absolutely no problem with legal immigration.

Are Republicans pro-immigration or are they not?

How religious are Asians?, because without the evangelical christian vote, Trump would have gotten about 20 million votes.

So religion probably not playing much of a part in their political decisions, and the fact that Asians are the smartest demographic and thus are more skilled at separating fact from fiction,

those are the main two reasons.
