The Asian American vote by state...

Arabs are not classified as Asians. Also, Obama getting 80% of the Muslim vote? Sure. 89% of the Arab vote? Hell no. For one, most Arab-Americans are Christians.

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.

I think Vietnamese are becoming more Democratic with each generation, similar to cubans. They are still a Republican demographic though. It also depends where they live. Those living in Orange county seem to be hardcore Republicans but those living in San Jose and the PacNW are split in their voting.

This is also true. And not surprising. As their children assimilate, it's only natural their voting patterns would trend towards the mean.

Also, voting statistics for Chinese are completely useless. Because you have people who came over from Taiwan in the 80's, people who came from Guangdong in the 1800's, people who fled Hong Kong before the handover, people who moved from the PRC in the 90's, and literally 500 different groups, all who are very very different. As opposed to say Vietnamese or Cubans, who mostly moved to the USA in two waves.

Also to add Filipino and Vietnamese-American's are one of the more conservative ethnic groups in the US. So no way Obama did very well amongst ether group or for that matter that McCain got less then 55% amongst the Vietnamese. Even the younger generations in both communties tend to be Republicans.

Filipino Americans have historically been very Democratic on the West Coast. They're the mainstay of the HI Democratic Party.

Everyone in Hawaii is the mainstay of the HI Democratic Party. Hawaii is probably the most heavily Democratic state in the United States, except for the possible exception of Massachusetts, and I'm not so sure about that.
