20 years ago, things were different, that is why last election it was one way and this time, totally different.

It sounds as though there is in reality no such thing as an “Asian-American” voting bloc

Correct. they don’t have the unity that, say, Blacks have.
In fact, within the Philippines, folks can be at least as loyal to & proud of their local provinces (with their own languages & subcultures) as they are to the nation.
I don’t doubt that this is true in much of Asia.
So it’s not a united voting bloc.

Morons…leprocy still prevails in India and only 1% there pay taxes… they leave squaller and want to dwell further in it.

What a bunch of fools.

The ones who come here aren’t poor, they’re the liberal-like wealthy urban elite.

Less well known is how Filipinos (like my wife) often mix up the pronunciation of fs & ps. I tease my wife about that once in a while.

You should hear my Chinese wife do a mock Filipino accent in Japanese. Now that’s funny!

They couldn’t pronounced Lomney?

Stupid comments like profitsbeard’s certainly don’t help.

The mixed-up pronunciation of rs & ls by Japanese folks is legendary.

I’m coming to regard government schools as being almost as bad as Islamic madrassas.

Subjects – Fluke should look ahead.

Obama’s newly founded dic tatorship – the old one had no sharia leanings. Is this the Arab Spring? How come the media don’t hold Obama to account? May their head all be chopped off first.

If so, it’s because English is their second language.

What’s your excuse for adding the d to pronounce?

But Indians (by far the most liberal and most Democratic bloc of Asian Americans) upped their share by nearly two-thirds between 1990 and 2010, so that they now make up over 19 percent of the U.S. Asian population—just about 2.8 million people.
