OT: Why do Hispanics and Asians trent heavily to Clinton

[bobby]

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.

I make less than $75K per year, so I’m voting for Hillary.

Once I lose my job, I can qualify for Section 8 housing.
Saving that much money on housing is like having a real job.

One of the problems of being a *favored* minority and applying for college is that they will race-norm you into a school that is above your ability to succeed. The racial bean counters in the admission offices don’t care whether the favored minorities graduate, just what color the overall starting class is. The chances of graduation may be much lower than average, but that doesn’t count.

Years ago, people were complaining that UC-Berkeley was 51% asian. The proper response was, “So what?” But, there may have been some effort to change the racial composition by disfavoring asian applicants.

I knew a guy at a Midwestern university that said he was white, just so he would have no chance of being race-normed into a school that was too competitive for him. That was in the mid-80’s. Now everyone has a reason to distrust the admissions process.

No one is really sure why Latino and Asian Democrats tilted so heavily in favor of Clinton in the California primaries. One could suppose if the women leaned for Hillary and the men were evenly split it would create some of the gap, but that’s not enough. Policy wise, Obama and Hillary overlap heavily, but Obama tends to do better at pulling independants and moderates.

To correct the gross mis-statement Kev made, the Bush tax cuts that will be rolled back primarily only affect those making over $250k a year. I think most Americans have realized at this point that those tax cuts really only benefitted the uber-rich, while throwing a tiny bone to the middle class (And if you’re sub 100K a year, you’re middle class, and should vote Democrat if you’re voting with your pocketbook)
