OT: Why do Hispanics and Asians trent heavily to Clinton

[admin]

Question for you Californians now that I am not one. I see that Hispanics and Asians trended heavily – 70/30 in some cases, toward Clinton. Asians and ‘Other’ showed an even heavier trend. Can someone please explain to me why this is the case? Seriously, I am sitting here wondering why Obama was able to make serious headway in every other group, including white males, but not the groups I mentioned. Is he just not reaching those groups as well as he has whites, are there cultural values at play here like perhaps placing a higher value on experience than whites do?

Unfortunately, our political parties are increasingly looking like tribal affiliations. Republicans are becoming mostly a white male party. Females are tilting heavily Democratic (at least partly based on pro-choice vs. pro-life issue). Majority of non-whites are tilting Democratic, feeling they don’t belong in the Republican party. Within this big picture, I think there is a competition between African-Americans and Hispanics . Since it is widely assumed that AAs will tilt towards Obama, Hispanics want to tilt towards Clinton. There may also be a subtext in Hispanics trying to identify themselves as belonging among working class Whites than Blacks.

I haven’t heard any news analysis that has put their finger on it. I think it’s not so much that Obama isn’t reaching these groups, but more that Clinton has deliberately targeted them, at least the Hispanics. Asians who vote Democrat may be more conservative in their outlook, and Clinton appeals to those core democratic values. The racial/gender card is also an obvious factor in this.

If you think that these election results have any basis in reality, you haven’t been paying attention. They are a complete farce and have been for years. Elections in Kazakhstan are more honest than in the US.
