As for support for McCain amongst the foreign-born, the interesting to note there is that at the 18-34 age group, the difference is 3%-4%, almost a negligible number. The difference is noticeable, however, at the older age groups. The APALC report does not show a cross section of LEP against support for Obama/McCain, but I suspect Obama's comparatively poorer support amongst older immigrants could correlate with LEP levels (whereas younger immigrants have lower LEP levels), given the heavy use of social media by the Obama campaign. For example, what if they had profiles on Renren and Youku, respectively the Facebook and Youtube of China? Both of them have more Chinese users than their American versions.

The facts don't support that statement at all. Nirvana, I’d be curious to know why you think that Asian Americans “ignore other ethnic groups”. The facts don’t support that statement at all.

In other words, they are not fully assimilated in American society. They do a good job at ignoring other ethnic groups. Let's face it, America is very diverse country and minorities make up nearly half of its demographics. If Asian Americans want to hold public office, they need to address the concerns of all the citizens of this country.
