[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is almost ten years old but nailed it early IMO.

“Matthew MacWilliams, a doctoral candidate at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, conducted a poll in which Republicans were asked four questions about child-rearing. With each question, respondents were asked which of two traits were more important in children:

independence or respect for their elders;
curiosity or good manners;
self-reliance or obedience;
being considerate or being well-behaved.

Psychologists use these questions to identify people who are disposed to favor hierarchy, loyalty and strong leadership — those who picked the second trait in each set — what experts call "authoritarianism." That many of Trump's supporters share this trait helps explain the success of his unconventional candidacy and suggests that his rivals will have a hard time winning over his adherents.”

So you'll see this in just about every Asian culture.  Does this mean republicans are Asian?[/quote]

Education is highly valued in Asian cultures.

MAGA not so much[/quote]

I don't see too many Asians going after degrees in Ethnic or Gender Studies, Communications, or Art History.[/quote]

You must only know the ones who come here for tech jobs. You'll find ones with cultural based degrees back in the land they immigrated from. Probably held by the wealthy, therefore aspirational.
