I'm just shocked to learn that in TX 57% of Asians voted for Obama, but yet right next door in Louisiana most of them (84%) voted for Romney. I'm guessing many of them are in the fishing industry and didn't like Obama's response during the 2010 BP oil spill.

I bet a lot of that has to do with the fact that Asians in Louisiana are mainly Vietnamese who live in rural fishing communities, while Texas's Asian population is much larger and more diverse, with lots of Indians and Taiwanese (as well as some Mainland Chinese) especially in Houston, but also in Dallas and Austin.
