They are the richest demographics in this country. So why would they want to be taxed more?

They seem to work hard and are entrepreneurial. Why would they want to vote for a party that is unfriendly to small businesses?

All (or the vast majority) of the ones that are here are not illegally, so they don't need to worry about the amnesty issue

They seem to have traditional/family/conservative values

They come from countries that are very poor, densely populated, and dirty, and ran by either Communist or Caste type governments. You would think they don't want to recreate that here.

From alot of polls I see, they vote like 70-30 Democrat.

They're also the most racist and see the opportunity to knock out whitey in large numbers and then take over.

Only partly tongue-in-cheek.

Collective cultures.

Individualism is a western ideal. Its vastly superior.

Almost all non-whites groups vote heavily Democrat. As America becomes increasingly non-white, it becomes more and more difficult for Republicans to win elections.

For some reason, white Republicans have never understood this.

Every “Asian” (pretty broad term) I’ve ever talked to could give 2 shits about politics and just want to work and live their lives. I admire them a great deal for this. Especially the Japanese.

I think their break out between urban/suburban/rural has a lot to do with it. Many come from a culture where living in the large city is a status thing.

Better question. And I’ll get blowback on this. But living in north Texas I’m now inundated with both groups and have a lot of time to observe.


Why are both groups, Indians in particular, such friggin goobers?

Y’all ever watch an Indian dude at the gym???? Like they’ve never been in public before and are learning how to use their limbs for the first time. Think back of the most awkward kid from your high school. That’s every Indian dude

Do you mean Indian Dot or Indian Feather?

As for Asians.(and also hispanics). The answer is simple. For the most part, they don't live near high concentrations of blacks.

If they did, they'd vote like southern whites do.

There. I said it.

Because they know democratic policies weaken consumers and provide investment opportunities for those able to take advantage of another's dilemma caused by bad gooberment policy.

I assume that you reference primarily immigrants, rather than their 2nd- or 3rd-generation descendants. Obviously, any answer will involve some level of generalization.

As a rule, they come from countries with a political spectrum at least a full standard deviation Leftward from the US political spectrum. For good or ill, government services that you or I see as unnecessary or as outside the proper scope of government, THEY see as entirely normal for a government to provide. They see opposition to those governmental roles as being (at best) odd or (at worst) fascist. At levels of taxation that you or I might see as confiscatory, they still think they are getting quite a bargain.

In my experience, the first generation thereafter tend to have politics much like their parents, while the second generation tend to start conforming to the American norm.

They are used to subjugation. They may come from freedom of economics but some habits are hard to break.

Those are cultures that have a history of submitting to authority, not challenging it. The media tells them something and they believe it.

I forgot the obvious, short answer:

Liberalism doesn't seem nearly as bad if you don't pay taxes.

Indians surprise me.

East Asians don’t. They’re very smart and hard working but they love them some government control.

Indians try really hard to seem "Western" or "Modern" and I think some of them are leftist on that basis.

Also, they want to kill the girl fetuses.

Very similar to the Jewish people in many respects- the entrepreneurship, the deceptive, smiling refusal to assimilate, etc.
