[quote=FlyerInHi]I just scanned through the report, and on page 12, I was surprised to see that Vietnamese Americans have 46% preference for Sanders (the highest amount the Asian groups) vs 24% for Clinton.
I was always under the impression that Vietnamese-Americans were staunchly anti-communists and could not stand even a whiff of socialism. Maybe the younger generations are taking over, or influencing the elders. Of course, since the late 1990s there has been more immigration from communist Vietnam and that might have diluted the power of the earlier refugees.
Among all Asians (page 13) native born (54%) and under 34 group (61%) seem to love Sanders.
On page 21, we see that democrats hold a big advantage on the environment. Among my Asian connections, it seems like food safety is very important. Even Chinese people from China don’t like to buy stuff made in china because the products could be tainted.
Page 28 shows identification as democrat strongest among Japanese 62% and lowest with Vietnamese 28%. no surprise there.[/quote]
Simple math… 46% of 28% is 12.8%. 12.8% is small enough where it can be easily explained that 12.8% are probably 2nd or 3rd generation. Which mean they’re no different than any other American.
