Asian Americans and Political Parties

This is related to our reading this week, about Asian Americans. According to the article, they are the fastest growing minority in the U.S. and have finally gotten some attention from the two political parties. Both parties are beginning to view the various ethnicities as an untapped voting bloc. As more immigrate, they are expected to make a bigger impact in coming elections.

Something I noticed was a Republican spokesperson reiterating the model minority idea from the book. He claims that not only are they the best group of immigrants in terms of assimilation, but they would be the perfect material to lead the new direction of the Republican party.
