Asians are generally not Christian, so the evangelicals tend to alienate Asian communities.  But Asians are conservative on most social issues: women's rights, gay marriage, affirmative action.  There are a few pro-AA asians but not many, even among the sections who do benefit.  In India, the right to property for women is being deliberated in the courts right now.  Though they are not Christian many are very religious: Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist.

Actually, I think a majority of Asians in the US are Christian, especially Koreans (assuming you are not counting Indians, Pakistanis, etc. among Asians).  One big difference is that Asian Christians tend to be in favor of religious tolerance and against state enforcement of religious values, because they are mindful of how the same efforts have been by Asian governments to suppress Christianity.
