That's a good point.
I might be oblivious because I'm caught in the middle I think. I'm Asian! So where do Asian-American fall in this paradigm? I don't believe the issues you mentioned voter suppression, imprisonment, poverty, police brutality, racism really affect Asian-Americans as much as the other groups. So what would be the reason for that. Are we pretty much white? I don't think I heard Asian-Americans mentioned once in this election.

But I don't think a single self respecting woman should have voted for Trump with the way he talks about and treats the women in his life.

I just saw this. Are Asians a minority or have we lumped into the majority?
Let's discuss cause this is where i'm caught.
