[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Both parties harbor racists toward Asians. Democrats just tend to deny it more. Right now, Republican policies benefit Asians a little more at least on the local level. That could easily flip. It makes no sense to blindly vote for either party.[/quote]
Asian American elected politicians are way more likely to be Democrats, though.

That's a non sequitur argument. Political party alliance is not a perfect predictor of whether the party is beneficial to the voter.  African Americans have been supporting Democratic politicians in urban environments for decades. What did that get them? Are they better off? [/quote]
How would African Americans be better of under Rs, who don't believe in a living wage or helping the poor or "affirmative action" of any kind, and who want to whitewash history and the impacts of Jim Crow laws and bigotry on POC?[/quote]

I don't think you genuinely want to know the answer when you attribute so many evil intentions to Republicans. With the hope that you are indeed interested in learning, I'll just start with one simple observation that Republican efforts on controlling the southern border significantly reduced illegal immigration of low-skilled workers, which contributed to significant growth of African American wages, outpacing the speed of white worker wage growth. Note that Hispanic worker wages also grew faster than white workers at the same time, as compared to overall negative wage growth under the Obama years, emphasizing that controlling immigration to a reasonable degree also promotes the welfare of Hispanics in the US. Under the current administration, wage growth has continued due to the huge social program spending. But under these current Democratic policies, inflation has skyrocketed which has outsized impacts on low-wage earners, while white worker wage growth is now happening at the same rate as that of Hispanic and African American workers, meaning the wage gap is no longer closing.
