(40,994 posts)to articles about Dems. and the GOP trying to attract growing nos. of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the US, also how many are moving towards Bernie this year which I knew. At a glance, I only noticed one link that covered the -why not polled issue-. It's in this Pew link: question, 'Do you survey Asian Americans.' The response says they do, but have limitations because of smaller population percentage and more languages, which is very strange.
How can so many major news organizations, universities and polling companies Not include this category, I've never seen it. Maybe one of the pros around here knows. I'll ask a couple; thanks for noticing it. What an oversight.
A few years ago when news articles were focusing on the major changes in US demographics by 2050, Asians were definitely included. In one article, probably WaPo it stated how many Asians are affluent, educated and are sometimes considered the 'new white' for what that's worth, certainly not the case for all. I wonder if the middle eastern military and terrorist issues esp. since 2001 influence this, although Asians have been in the US hundreds of years before then.
