Nikore agreed that"it is in the Sun Belt and the Southern states — Arizona, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia — that the Asian American growth has been immense," he said."It has to do with where the jobs are growing."Sri Preston Kulkarni, 41, is a former diplomat, a polyglot conversant in at least six languages who quit his foreign service job to fight Trump's party.

NBCAsianAmerica Nah, that’s not going to happen.
NBCAsianAmerica Trumpsters will not admit they elected an epic fail. They would rather see America combust. Foolish pride.

NBCAsianAmerica Or we could remind them that a Democrat threw them all into concentration camps and made it illegal for them to own any property.
NBCAsianAmerica Good luck with that. Asians love law and order.
NBCAsianAmerica Uh huh.
NBCAsianAmerica Keep dividing everyone into groups and attributing broad generalities to them. Sounds like a winning formula to me. 👍
NBCAsianAmerica Texas would cease to be Texas if it went blue. Imagine the new gun laws and regulations tax hikes and wokeness? depressing to even imagine it.
NBCAsianAmerica Well, now they have all the veterans and military families who believe it's important that WeRespectVets and now know, even from the fave Texas network FoxNews that TrumpHatesVets
NBCAsianAmerica Be careful what you wish for. The Democrats have ruined much of California and a big reason why I am now a registered Independent.
