OT: Why do Hispanics and Asians trent heavily to Clinton

[contraman]

Kev374, Just to address your post here. STUDY (going to college and getting a degree) and WORKING HARD does not always guarantee a high income in this country.

The reality is, and I am by no means racist, that if you are a minority in America today (not of european decent), you actually have a slightly better chance of getting a degree and landing a high paying job. This is due to quotas placed on companies to hire a certain percentage of minorities to avoid lawsuits.

Try being of hungarian european decent and getting a grant from the government to go to college. Good Luck on that one.

I am a proponent of equal rights no matter what your creed, culture, or race. Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore in America. You can have 2 educated and experienced candidates for a job, one european decent the other Asian decent, the European guy can have more experience and a degree from a better school, yet the Asian candidate gets the job due to quota regulations. This is not equal rights.

So whining may be slightly justified by some……..who are carrying 50,000 in school loans while their hispanic buddy has none……(FYI, I have no school loans).

Once again, I am not racist and have friends from all backgrounds and cultures. I discuss this with them also and it is an issue in our country that needs to be addressed.

Hispanics are probably voting for Clinton because she wants to put a freeze on foreclosures and bail everyone out. I think that that population of people (look at Eastlake and Chula Vista prices)have taken the biggest beating in the housing market. Just an observation.

Sincerely, Contraman

This is just an observation. One of my best friends is black with two brothers…all of them are registered Repubs and all voted for Romney because they had the all-Repub ballot. They are all arch conservatives but they are ALL voting Obama if he’s the candidate in November. My friend said “It’s time for a black,” just like my 19-year-old daughter said, “It’s time for a woman,” although she voted Obama. I think it’s gonna be Hillary vs. McCain. I know in her case, and in mine, she will vote Hillary, but I have no idea what the three black brothers will do. My friend seems seriously upset today, but he just doesn’t want to talk about it yet.

Contraman,

I think you’re incorrect. It’s well documented that if you’re Asian and applying to let’s say Yale or Berkeley, you will be rejected against an equally qualified white because those institutions have initiated quotas since they have TOO many Asians. Same for a number of med schools.

As for economic handouts, how come our “free market” system is all good and fine until we hit a bubble (like the housing bubble) and then all the capitalists are asking for a government bailout? As a tech trans attorney, I’ve seen way too much of this.

Saving and loans bailout in the 80s, Enron etc. If free market means less government enforcement, that promotes fraud which then leads to people demanding a bailout from the government (when these same people were the ones demanding no government oversight).

Why is it that under a “free market” president, the SEC and the EPA somehow find their enforcement budgets decreased? Regardless of whether white collar or blue collar crime, when you take the cops off the street, crime increases. When crime increases (even white collar), we all get hurt. Government is not necessarily a bad thing.

contraman,
you are simply wrong about Asians having it easier in education. Just go to any University of CA and see that Asians have the highest average testscore/GPA of any class. Medschool is the same thing based on my own and many of my friends’ experience.

Asians in America are not minority, they’re “ethnic” but aren’t “minority” so don’t get any special treatment. At least the Caucasians have connections (e.g. George Bush going to Yale) but Asians by and large succeed on their own merits.
