Sad but not surprising. Lack of political engagement is a major and well-known problem with both communities. As an Asian American, I can vouch for the lack of outreach by both parties to the Asian community, thanks to our small size, heavy immigrant background, concentration in safe areas, and old fashioned racism. And while I'd hypothesize that things would be better for Hispanics due to their larger size, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they too face the same problem.
Maybe one day politicians will see the need to actually reach out to the Asian American community, lest the sins of soft bigotry cause them to miss important opportunities such as next year's midterms.
