Asian-Americans were once considered to be natural allies of the Republican Party. They tend to embody the conservative identity better than any other minority group in America. The U.S. Census and surveys by the Pew Research show them to be the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing ethnic group in the United States.
However, Asian-Americans have been moving away from the GOP during the past few elections. In the 2012 election, President Obama received an overwhelming 73 percent of the Asian-American vote.
The mainstream Asian culture promotes family values, hard work, self-sufficiency and fiscal responsibility, which is similar to many core values of the Republican Party. However, as an Asian immigrant, here are some reasons that Asian-Americans are feeling alienated from the GOP.
