[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Again, when is the last time Democrats celebrated Asian American success?  Democrats seem to want to punch Asians down and then tell them it's good for them.[/quote]

I think that it is notable that the current Vice President -- a Democrat -- is half Asian. There are currently two US Senators of Asian heritage -- both Democrats. There are currently 16 House members of Asian decent, all but two of whom are Democrats. So, Democrats seem to be celebrating Asian Americans fairly well at the polls.

Jeff, these Asian politicians got there by taking advantage of the non-awareness of most Asians about politics. Ted Liu, for example, is joined by Hirono to openly says that they supports Affirmative Action, and for considering race in admissions. Both are open racist. It's a conundrum to me how Asians can support these politicians. The simplest explanation is to me is that most Asian voters simply don't know any better.

Just look at the arguments in this thread from my fellow Asians. No specific facts or rational logic. Just going on and on in circles about how Republicans are broadly racist without any evidence, pointing to anecdotes or small fringe minorities as examples. It's as if all of a sudden when it comes to politics, they forget how to math.

As for Kamala Harris, I have never felt a shred of connection with her as a person with Asian ancestry. She might have indicated her Asian ancestry in tweets or article quotes, but she certainly did not demonstrate any of it. None of her Asian experiences are her own, they are simply relays of stories from her relatives. As far as I can tell, she lived a typical African American life. There is nothing wrong with that, just stop claiming that she has a connection with me because her mom happen to be born on the same continent as me. Oh yea, Kamala harris also supports affirmative action, the very racist policy that discriminates against people with Asian ancestry. At least she can put down "Black" when she fills out her forms. Other Asians like my sons don't have that choice.

Shameful. [/quote]
