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!
No not really, they would be just as liberal. What really makes large cities for the Democrats is their large amounts of African-Americans almost universally. Even Minneapolis is almost 17% Black and it is one of the whitest cities in America.

Actually you are wrong about SF, EMD. Although Asians in SF vote overwhelmingly for democrats, they are certainly not as liberal as the whites there. BTW this thread is one of the most hilarious one I have read in a while.

I feel Koreans are the most evangelical and most socially conservative asian group out there. At least they are the best at indoctrinating it into their kids. Other younger asians are very socially liberal, mostly because they grew up around socially liberal whites in suburbs. Of course I am speaking from a Californian perspective and things are probably very different in Texas.

Asians just pick up on their surroundings for the most part.

Same with latinos I would say.

Imagine where those Italians would go if the GOP nominated a fobby Korean

HAHA that'll be the day. Although you never know, it might fit in well with their "urban-suburban hip hop strategy".
