El chinito largely nailed it. First gen Chinese immigrants tend to have conservative values (i.e. anti gay, patriarchal, pro death penalty/tough on crime, anti welfare/laziness, etc). It is no surprise that a majority of them support Trump.
Their kids tend to be even more militant SJW than white peers, probably stemming from an increased need to virtue signal as a way of proving their societal worth.
Depends on which type of Asian ethnicity & which part of the US as well.
I can honestly say many Americans of Chinese descent in the Northeast and West Coast tend to have more SJW values. Midwest and Southern Vietnamese types are not about political correctness.
I did specify Chinese. I agree that Viets are less PC. They tend to be more badass/higher T as well. Chinese kids think they have a shot at being considered white (read: climbing the mainstream status ladder), so they suck up and virtue signal like no tomorrow. Viets are "lower class" and take a more "sigma"/rebel approach.
I'm talking out of my ass here, but it's my general observation.
Many American born Chinese on the coasts typically grow up with an inferiority complex & therefore resort to perpetual SJW victim mentality bullshit. They view themselves as outcasts in "mainstream western society" due to how they were raised by their parents & resent how they view themselves "in relation" to white people they've been exposed to.
What many feel to realize is that they should be proud of their values & utilize the unique advantages of their upbringing to "fit in" with the "rest of society." The happiest "ABCs" I know have that figured out. Growing up in the Southern US, I can honestly say that I had more in common with Viets, Filipinos, and Koreans due to more exposure to them. When I moved out to New York, I met some cool ABCs but didn't really gel with many possessing that passive aggressive hater mentality.
When I do gel with an ABC however, we tend to get along VERY well.
Many Viets in the US tend to be less self conscious and carry themselves in that "low class" blunt manner. Despite the rise in social class and more stable financial well-being, they haven't resorted to overbearing SJW nonsense that certain privileged people with too much time on their hands ponder consistently.
They are proud of their ethnicity but tend to not take themselves as seriously as Koreans or Chinese at the same time. Generally very easy going & feel more comfortable "within" their own skin in how they perceive themselves as a part of western society.
