A poverty rate of 14.7% is not that out of line with other ethnic groups, and is a far cry from saying that the majority live off welfare.

The attitude I sense is a major reason Orange County remains blue, and is the reason I remain an independent. I heard it all the time from local Democratic politicians, professors, etc. … “Asian Americans are all Republicans, so you’re wasting your time trying to talk to them.” But I’ve never before heard anyone rooting for people to lose their benefits just because they voted the “wrong” way. That’s just petty.
