    A lot of 1st generation asians who immigrate to the U.S tend to be conservative (hell, it doesnt stop at asians, this also applies to most immigrants)

    Its the second generatiom who lean more left, and how left they lean usually is on how deeply family oriented they are.

    Taiwanese usually land on the richer side of asian immigrants and the prototypical “model asian” stereotype so I wouldnt be suprised they landed on the more right leaning side of the spectrum reletively speaking.

    Edit: it alsp doesnt help that asian news networks tend to be right leaning.

      It doesn’t help that communists are banned from immigrating to the US.

      “The inadmissibility ground for immigrant membership in or affiliation with the Communist or any other totalitarian party is part of a broader set of laws passed by Congress to address threats to the safety and security of the United States” from the US government

        Theres like lines about that I would believe. How would the government define whose communist, as there are many civilians who come from communist countries and are known to be very conservative (e.g Cubans)

          I think strictly speaking it’s party membership that would reason for inadmissibility, but I suspect that a “vibes” based approach might be in use, due to the possible difficulty in figuring out who exactly is a member.

            Hence why I dont think that law really enforced unless you were obviously communist (e.g big name politician or figurehead).

            Immigration is extremely lax on actually verifying identities of people (e.g some people sponsored for immigration gave it to a reletive or a friend if they chose to ultimately stay in their respective country)

      Even then, its amazing to see what she’ll do to get in with a party that clearly hates her. My ears practically bleed when I’m listening to her apologize for someone like D’Souza or Vivek, as though a thousand cocktail party niceities make up for the latest racial slander they’ve rolled out to the mainstream.
