[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Asian citizens are kidding themselves if they think they aren't included in the various POC conservatives want out of the US. [/b]It's a big reason most of my family (not me) is conservative. [/quote]
+1 You’re not White, you will never be White. White supremacy applies to you, too, guys. White supremacy was set up to favor Whites, end of story. Not model Asians, not anyone else. You will never be accepted in the club any more than White women are in the club - a token, here or there, but not of the club. [/quote]

Given in the recent VA election, Rs elected a white man, a black woman, and a Cuban man, I don’t know how these statements can hold. They were highly supported by conservatives.[/quote]
That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t throw them under the bus in a heartbeat. It doesn’t mean they’re in the club. Diamond and Silk are also highly supported by conservatives; it doesn’t mean they think those two women are people entitled to full rights. But hey if Republican minorities feel that the practices of the GOP are acceptable and want to let themselves be used, they’re welcome to throw away their votes. [/quote]

I still don't get this idea that Asian Republicans are being "used". How exactly am I being used, as an Asian American who is also a Republican? My fellow republicans are fighting to protect the ideals of classical liberalism - not all of them, but most. They are also trying to fight against the systemic racist policy that is Affirmative Action. They are trying to implement merit-based immigration, which will help fellow Asians - such as the wonderful student we hosted over Christmas who ponders what his life would be if he did not get a spot in the lottery. He is studying data analytics and would love to apply his abilities in the US than back in Asia. It was such a difficult conversation to have with him, to sense the genuine desire, the ability to do good in society, but can't because of the luck of the draw.

On the other side, we have people like Ted Liu who has stated "I support affirmative action.  I also support the use of race in college admissions."

Gee, such a tough choice. [/quote]
Gee, you are blind to your own words.

You don't embrace or agree with every R or their policies, but you think [b]ALL Dems agree with ALL Dem policies[/b]?  I stated upthread, CA passed Prop 209. Do you know what that is?  A liberal state passed a law that prevented universities there from using race as a factor.  So, you see, not all liberals agree with affirmative action.

Tell your friend who ponders what his life would be like if he doesn't get in by lottery that he'll figure it out as milions of other people do. The former first lady came here on an HlB as "extraordinary talent" -- snort.  Gimme a break.  Like the US doesn't have enough models so we had to import them?  There are thousands of other would be models around the world who would love an HlB visa to the US.  Why shouldn't they have gotten one instead of Melania, who isn't even all that great looking and only modeled in catalogs and men's magazine in soft porn photos.

My family came here via family connections, as did thousands upon thousands of others, white, black, brown, etc..   I suppose to you that should never have happened, right?

Most Asian Americans realize that the R party today aren't supportive of Asian immigrants, nor are they really all that supportive of Asian Americans in general.   They only seem to support merit based immigration as a way to exclude certain demographics.  As Trump stated, why can't we import more Norwegians rather than people from sh1thole countrles?  You think he wants more Chinese or Indians?  Sure, he wants rich people because he's an elitist. He doesn't want an HlB Chinese or Indian tech worker, that's for sure.

You are being used as a patsy.  Do you know what that means?  You are convient for them when they want your support, but once they get what they want, they will turn on you.

We saw Trump do the same thing to people who supported him but didn't agree with everything he said or did.  He would turn on them in a heartbeat.  That's how Rs operate now.

Do you think the vast majority of Asian Americans are blind and dumb to vote Dem, and only the select few like you are smart and see the light and so you vote R?  Ok, sure.  If that makes you feel better.[/quote]

Stop making stuff up. I never said that. I applaud CA's ban on affirmative action but they tried to repeal it and failed. It was on the ballot. And none of this change the fact that affirmative action is alive and well supported in other areas of the county, backed by Democrats who spend money defending it in court, with the support of Asian politicians like Ted Liu. This is sickening. They are racist and proud of it. Not all Democrats, but it is a broadly supported position among Democrats.

You keep ignoring facts placed right in front of you, and just go on repeating the same tired biased opinions based on your personal feelings.  I am not going to repeat myself for your benefit. Enjoy supporting affirmative action.[/quote]
yes, the repeal of 209 failed because LIBERALs didn't want to overturn it.

You also ignore facts placed right in front of you, my friend.  You ignored everything I wrote about, and even your response to 209 repeal shows that not all liberals support affirmative action.

You are in the minority right now.  Majority of Asian Americans, even the educated ones, don't support Rs these days.  Maybe if they swing back to the moderate days Asian Americans might go back. Of course, if the Dem party swings way too left, you might see more Asian Americans becoming Independent and voting whoever is the least extreme. [/quote]
