SAN GABRIEL VALLEY (AP) — Hillary Clinton is traveling to Southern California Thursday to rally Asian American and Pacific Islander supporters.

Clinton will visit the San Gabriel Valley, a suburban enclave about 10 miles east of the city of Los Angeles that is home to more than a half million Asian Americans, many first-generation immigrants.

Clinton is expected to launch the grassroots Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Hillary.

The Asian American community has been the subject of relatively little discussion in the Democratic and Republican primaries to date.

According to exit polls, nearly three-quarters of Asian American voters favored President Barack Obama in the 2012 election. Still, analysts say the Asian American vote can tilt in either direction.

“Their party identity is not cast in stone,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a professor of public policy and political science at the University of California, Riverside. “There’s still potential for persuasion there.”

Nearly 4 million Asians voted in the 2012 presidential election, a 547,000 increase over 2008. They comprised about 3 percent of the total electorate.

California has the largest Asian population in the United States. In the San Gabriel Valley, a number of cities are now majority Asian-American and store signs in Mandarin and Cantonese line the streets.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"ding song" is derogatory to Asians. This is blatant bigotry and should not be allowed on DU. It is the worst stereotyping ever and as an Asian, I feel incensed.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: What? Alerter need to stop lying in their alert messages. What in the hell? Just admit you are alert stalking because someone said a bad about Her Majesty, not because of some shit lie about racism
