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.

I think the reason we use the term minorities is because even though a bunch of these issues are primarily issues for African-Americans, there are also issues that are primarily Latino or Muslim-centric but they're based on similar criteria. I think Asian-Americans are largely off the radar for many of these issues for any number of reasons.
