Good stuff. Good piece today in The Free Press about the move in Asian politics from routine leftist to hard right in many cases. Asians, like a number of other minorities, are coming to the realization that, to the Dems, "minority group" means "black". The Asians are moving right due to issues of equity (the black insistence on "equal admission to high-performance high schools" is a direct attack on Asian success), issues of safety (the shoplifting-theft issue in cities, the attacks on Asians mostly by blacks), and the fact that many Asian-majority districts are supported by blacks, is pushing them right-ward.
Here's a fact - MANY immigrants are fleeing socialist disasters. Any expats from Russia, Poland, China, especially before 1990, are COMPLETELY anti-communist/socialist and VERY hard-right. They do not want the socialist crap peddled by the Dems in the US.
This will have some interesting ramification in 2024. Asian communities are 22,000,000 which is about 8% of the US. That's big enough to shift some districts. In fact, the Asian numbers are about half the black numbers. Many believe that the School board ousters in San Francisco are due to Chinese voter revolt, also the recall of the DA.

Have you considered listening to DRUUMM as it relates to race and the UUA?
Big ideas indeed David. Excellent piece that should be required reading, especially for those working toward what they hope are positive changes.
