Want Democrats to better represent Asians? Vote for Democrat candidates that do just that, don't just wait till presidential elections. Asian-Americans need to get more involved in politics if they want more of a voice.
The GOP has nothing to offer Asians. The Muslim ban is a page straight out of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Yeah seriously. Also, it's tough running as Asian with the Dems. The GOP has no problem propping up one or two of us as tokens, but the Dems....man. Just don't even consider us at all. We only get voted in in majority Asian places like Los Angeles and Hawaii.
Pet asked him for receipts on the Bamboo Ceiling and how liberals are complicit in Asian male emasculation in the media. That's remedial level stuff.
Like I said, read his post history. He's not even close to throwing in his lot with conservatives.
To be fair I asked him for receipts on how it "tends" to be liberals shitting on us, relative to conservatives. I only brought up bamboo ceiling because he used Hollywood as an example of a liberal bastion, so I pointed out an equally discriminatory issue occurring in a conservative stronghold, which is the world of higher tier business/finance.
In my opinion Hollywood is progressing, if slowly, and grudgingly sometimes listening to us. Don't see any conservatives or business people speaking up and saying that Asian Americans aren't actually meek, or make great leaders, or aren't all worker bees. In fact, the only people even pointing OUT there's a bamboo ceiling are....liberals. People in academia, who are like wait a minute let's look at these numbers.
If there were no liberals doing these kinds of studies on equality and sociology, no one (besides Asians watching this unfairness) would even know it was going on.
Edit for more:
And God knows I take issue with a lot of the "progressives" here that ignore Asians or are racist towards them- I got banned a few times before for fighting it so hard- but I don't let that change the fact that this is a zero sum game and there's ONLY two sides and I'm going to pick the side, that at the end of the day, cares are equality, progress, and people.
There's more to a good life than just an extra $20,000 a year. There's helping others, there's women's rights, there's community. There's making sure that other people get a chance too, and that no one is discriminated based on their skin. There's the environment itself- clean air, clean water. Safe food. Sleeping with peace of mind that I won't get cancer from the paint in my house, not worrying about getting cancer from the water and dirt in my yard...all of these are due to government regulations that are favored by liberal policies and ignored by conservative policies.
Like, no offense, but I don't want to live in a shit hole country, even if I'm part of the rich class that can afford to buy my way to a nicer standard of living. I'd much rather live in a society where the majority of people have a better standard of living...and that's just not going to happen under the GOP.
Look at the states where the GOP are in power and gut regulations. They have cancer, birth defects, sickness, broken down towns... all due to the greed of fuck you, got mine, and the refusal to think about 50 years down to the road as opposed to next quarter shareholder profit. Why would anyone want that? All for a 401k that grows at 12% instead of 7%?
