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

the Democrats have added a lot of diversity to their delegations

I genuinely feel bad for people like you who think like this.

We shouldn’t be voting for people because they “add color”

We should vote for people we agree with.

You should remember what mlk said.

quote:

---

As of the 2017 census estimate, the racial make up of the state is 68.5% White (63.8% non-Hispanic white), 27.3% Black or African American, 0.5% American Indian and Alaska Native, 1.7% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 1.9% from two or more races. 5.7% of the total population was of Hispanic or Latino origin of any race.[32]

It is one of the least Asian states in the country. 1.7%.

so under your logic, an Asian person in South Carolina should have voted gop during Haley years because a gop Governor was Asian?

There is 1 Asian in the GOP house & senate delegation

So what? Your statement said they all are anti immigration which is bullshite. I’m not talking about the race of them, with which you’re evidently obsessed.

Demographics vote for who they think is for their best interest.

Most of the Indians I know in SC did vote for Nikki Haley

So ? Why does it matter if we severely curtail even legal immigration? I’m sorry that Wang can’t bring over all six hundred and fifty of his cousins.

Simply being a refugee doesn't automatically grant you access to another sovereign nation.

The assertion was that the GOP is anti-immigration. Inaccurate.

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

Yea, but i don’t think there is a huge difference in how non-college Asians vote vs college Asians. So it might not be a decisive reason.


One thing I hate about the trump era is the “college vs non college” divide. I am very uncomfortable with the idea that people who did not attend college are “uneducated” on key issues. It’s a very non-democratic viewpoint, because it almost seems like an argument that those with lower educational levels don’t have as worthy an opinion.
