[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really isn't news if you are connected to the  Chinese American community. My parents are first gen and it is very clear that demographic favors trump (or maybe more accurate to say they hate Democrats). Reasons:
[b]- democratic rhetoric in recent years remind them of rhetoric from the cultural revolution. 
[/b]- most came here legally and with great hardship and took great pains assimilating. They perceive illegals as greatly unfair. 
- Chinese culture is ultimately conservative, so a better value fit with Republicans. 
- Chinese culture greatly values the family and family helping each other. This makes first gen immigrants hate taxes because they have the mentality of saving to use for their family. They do not rely on social safety net. Chinese culture has a very strong family vs stranger mentality and there is not as much emphasis on helping those outside your immediate circle.  So in this aspect, also a better fit with Republican values. [/quote]
Ironic given how anti-science and anti-education MAGA are.[/quote]
