Why are Vietnamese so right wing in the US? They tend to be NDP supporters here... and by here, I mean in Ottawa.
Vietnamese are very Republican, but not very conservative. It's a difference. Many, especially older Vietnamese, vote Republican because it was Democrat perfidy and hypocrisy that led to them having to flee their homeland.
Obviously, the NDP had no hand in that.
Oh I see. So they vote based on what happened in the past. That's why they vote NDP here. When our MP's mother was mayor, she brought in a lot of Vietnamese boat people to live in the city. So, they vote for her party, and for her son.
