My two cents on why Latino and Asian voters tend to support Hillary [View All]

[senseandsensibility]

I'm not setting myself up as an expert on these two groups or how they think. But I have taught for nearly twenty five years in a neighborhood that is comprised of almost one hundred percent Latino and Asian families. I have worked with these parents and students for many years. In addition, most of the staff at my school is made up of these two groups.

That being said, I HAVE noticed that they support Hillary over Obama. This is one time when the comments I hear on the corporate media actually confirm what I am seeing in the real world.

I have asked some of my closest Asian and Latino friends why they are voting for Hillary. They seem surprised by the question. There response is along the lines of "Why not?" They like her. They like Bill. They remember the Clinton years very fondly. I have not heard any of them say a negative word about Obama.

Whey are they so positive about Hillary? I wondered about that for a while. Then I realized that my Latino and Asian friends barely even know who Rush Limpballs is. let alone the vile things he has said about Hillary for years. They don't listen to rightwing radio, don't talk to people who do, and aren't aware of how much opposition there is out there to her by conservatives. They haven't been influenced by the hate speech. They see her differently because of it, I think.
