Heh heh, I actually am an angry Asian dude (well when it comes to anonymous folks glibly talking about racism or creationism–otherwise I’m at a pretty good stage in my life)
Anyhow, surprisingly enough I was a card-carrying Republican over 10 years ago–was asked to become involved with the Republican National Committee way back then. Refused to vote for Bush for governor of Texas and felt like I’ve been FORCED steadily leftward due to my concerns about the environment, my love for science, my involvement in high tech industries and my secularism. Guess I’ve always been a fiscal conservative but the social issues have gotten to be more important to me.
I guess the day that a prominent NYC law firm asked me as a 2L to sign a document that they had interviewed a “minority candidate” really brought to focus how shitty life could be for really smart African Americans (strangely, only that one law firm did that and they did give me an offer).
