Well, it’s been two days since America elected the first African American president by electing Barack Obama to the White House and I’m sure a lot of us are still digesting what this means for American and the world. I just saw this AFP article sent out by the Asian Americans for Obama email list, and Asian Americans overwhelmingly supported Obama over McCain:
“Sixty-two percent of the seven million Asian voters picked Democrat Obama compared with 35 percent for Republican Senator John McCain in the historic presidential election on Tuesday, media exit polls showed. “This is one of the best coordinated Asian-American campaign efforts and I think the community ought to be very proud of it,” said Mike Honda on Wednesday, the chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Studies showed that Asian-Americans were a “deciding factor” in the presidential race in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Virginia, Nevada and Minnesota.”
