Will Asian-Americans keep trending Democratic?

[DanielX]

A question: define "Asian". Half the world's population lives in Asia, and includes countless ethnic groups.

Another thing: how is this trend changed if you remove Muslims? Quite a few Asians are Muslims, and since 2000 they have trended Democrat quite substantially (outside of a few groups).

Also, how do the different types of Asians compare to other Americans who live in the same areas? Most Asians are concentrated in left-leaning areas to begin with - big coastal cities like San Francisco and New York. For example, I don't know the exact demographics but even if Chinese-Americans in San Francisco voted 80% Democrat+Green they'd probably be to the right of white San Franciscans!

The US Census bureau counts middle easterners as whites.

Nitpick: not all Muslims are middle easterners. In fact, most aren't.

OTOH, its damn near impossible to tell where "white" ends and "Asian" begins in much of western and south Asia. The majority population of India is probably genetically closer to Europeans than most Japanese are...
