The Asian Vote by Ethnic Group

[Sol]

I wonder how Tibetan-Americans voted- Did they vote like Cubans and Vietnamese?

My understanding is that Asians in the Mississippi delta area vote like whites.

Interesting.

Republicans actually won the Asian vote in 1992 and 1996. Of course, Asians made up a much smaller % of the electorate then.

Vietnamese voting Republican by a 56% - 44% margin is comforting. My guess is that they are like Cuban-Americans, who are attracted to the anti-communist ideology in the GOP.

Indians should vote GOP. Right now, 65% of Indians in India live in rural areas. They are conservatives. Gandhi, the legend among Indians, opposed cities and modern ideals. Shouldn't they be anti-technology, anti-science, and anti-intellectualism, like Southern whites are?

If Republicans can reach out to them successfully and articulate their beliefs, Indians can and should get in their corner.

Most Indians are White-collar recent immigrants. Very few Indian immigrants are the folks in rural areas. Also, many of them are Muslims.

The situation in Louisiana is interesting. It's really the one state in the deep south where Republicans have expanded their base among disgruntled southern whites to the conservative Vietnamese immigrants.

Well, Vietnamese elsewhere vote R as well.
