why the Asian support towards the Democratic Party is rarely mentioned in the media. I made a thread on this a few months ago, but whenever the MSM mention demographic trends and topics related to voting, they mostly only mention us and Latinos when it comes to ethnic minority groups. Never Asians (or Native Americans). It's almost as if news pundits are unaware that there are Asians and Native Americans living in America, too. Even on supposedly-progressive MSNBC, whenever they discuss racial issues in America, they rarely mention Asians.
