America's Fastest Growing Racial Group Is Rarely Ever Mentioned On Sunday Shows

Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the U.S -- but you'd never know it from watching the nation's Sunday talk shows.

A new report from think tank ChangeLab analyzed 26 weeks' worth of the five big Sunday shows -- "Face The Nation," "Fox News Sunday," "Meet The Press," "State Of The Union," and "This Week"-- from Jan. 1 through June 30 of 2013.

The group found that, over the course of 130 episodes, Asian Americans were only discussed a total of 13 times.

That was a slight improvement from a similar study ChangeLab conducted in 2012, when Asian Americans were discussed once over the course of 169 shows.

The population of Asians in the U.S. grew by 46 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to an analysis of 2010 census data by the Asian American Center For Advancing Justice.

And this growth could have political implications that the morning shows should probably be paying attention to. Since 2000, Asian Americans have made the strongest political shift toward the Democratic Party of all ethnic groups.

So that makes another group that Republicans have lost. We knew they had lost blacks, hispanics, youngs and women, now we know they've lost asians.
So basicaly the only group they still have are old white males (remember : Bill O'Reily average audience is 72 years old). Unfortunately for them, this is not a demographic group that is growing fast so they are pretty fucked up on national elections. Unless they change and successfully reach to other demographics, it's only a matter of time before they have no chance at all to win any national election.

Also, the classic explanation of Republicans on why blacks and hispanics vote for the Democrats is that they want things, they like the welfare state, etc. I don't think asians benefit from the welfare state more than white people. And they are not usually described by conservatives as **** dealers and thugs like blacks and latinos are but still they don't like Republicans very much...
