I read this on SFgate.com :
"Asians were a surprise," said Bruce Cain, director of the University of California's Washington Center. "It's the first (presidential) election we have seen where Asian voters were a big factor. They are about 8 percent of the Democratic electorate.... The two major immigrant groups voted for Clinton as opposed to the candidate who has the immigrant background."
And so I infer this: Clinton is a Native American? It appears to me that she is of European descent, and I always assumed that ALL non-Native-Americans were immigrants....
Eurocentric?
edit: This article was written about Clinton vs. Obama. The quote appears edited, so perhaps something is out of context. Is the missing part because Obama was born in Hawaii (some ignorant Mainlanders, when in Hawaii, describe the contiguous States as "in the U.S." as if Hawaii was not part of the U.S.) or is it a misuse of words meaning "minority" in place of "immigrant?" Which should then read "...The two major minority groups voted for Clinton as opposed to the candidate who has the minority background." But then, the question we have to ask is, "Should a group of people vote for another person 'in the same group' versus who is qualified?" i.e. all women Dems should have voted for Hillary because she is a woman and all minority Dems should have voted for Obama because he is a minority. Oh, crap - but what about all of the Minority Women who are Dems - who were they supposed to vote for?
