The Asian Vote by Ethnic Group

[Badger]

What about all the reports that Romney got massacred in predominantly Vietnamese communities on the west coast? Surely the LA shrimpers and Viet communities elsewhere can't overtake the Cali Vietnamese vote?

Makes me suspect there are serious MoE issues here.

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.

What this is I don't even.....

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.

NOWHERE near the same extent though. there are a ton of Vietnamese fishermen in LA whom have decidedly strong views about environmental laws and social issues (being more predominent Catholic than Vietnamese elsewhere). The median age of these Viet Americans is oldr than normal considering the reletive lack of youth influx, and thus cushions Rep weakness among younger Asian voters.
