I was just talking about this with an Asian co-worker of mine
I was just telling her of my displeasure that so many Asians went for Hillary over Obama. (Disclosure: I'm Filipino-American.) I just didn't get it. Since Obama was raised in Indonesia and Hawaii, he's the closest we'd ever get to an Asian-American president in my lifetime at least.
But then again, as a reader of AngryAsianMan and seeing all the Asian media endorsements, I too thought that most Asians would go for Obama, so I was a bit taken aback by the results.
However, as an Asian raised here in the South, I've learned that I don't understand those of you out on the West coast almost as much as you guys don't get us who didn't grow up around lots of Asians.
