Sorry, I thought about posting something about this. But i decided it's better not to. I have my opinions on whyy this turned out the way it did.
It stems from some some tensions that exist between some Asians and African Americans, though I must be clear it's not representative of myself. Suffice to say, some asians feel that other ethicities receive unfair preferential treatment, and that there is a greater fear in Obama being elected that Clinton or McCain.Frankly, I'm not surprised why some of the votes ended up the way they did.
I do not want to post any more details, for I don't want to be misconstrued as this being my opinion. (ITS NOT for me or my ancestors or family). But I know people who feel this way, especially in SoCal.
And regarding the comments about asians getting preferential treatment. I beg to differ, we get reverse discriminated quite often.
