I met a guy from Albuquerque a few years ago who came to Calgary on business, and he told me when we were out downtown that he had never seen an Asian person in real life, only on TV and in the movies, until this trip.
Lack of exposure and lack of negative stereotypes makes Asians a non-factor to the average American.

i guess my next question would be, how do the other groups turn negative stereotypes into positive ones.
Exposure isn't always a good thing. "The Latino Vote" being an actually thing already is a negative. The Democrats need to build better policy and stop using these groups as pawns.
