But the Asian American donor population may not perfectly reflect the group's voting population, said Christine Chen, executive director of APIAVote, a nonpartisan civic engagement nonprofit. She said the donor community tends to be less diverse than the overall Asian American and Pacific Islander group, or AAPI, with the lion's share of donors traditionally made up of Chinese American and Indian American contributors.
Donors are motivated by a variety of factors, such as candidates' ideological preferences, their own policy preferences and the degree to which they feel inspired by or close to a candidate, Ramakrishnan said. But a key driving force is contributors' perception of a candidate's viability.
NBCAsianAmerica That’s racist to donate to him due to his race. He should give it all back
NBCAsianAmerica Of course he is. Just goes to show people naturally support their own. Its not racism. A protective instinct that has served to preserve humanity through the ages
NBCAsianAmerica And Obama had the black vote 🤷🏾♀️
NBCAsianAmerica Idc what race he is. He's the only candidate to answer questions directly when asked and not deflect to what he wants to say. 👀👀👀👁
NBCAsianAmerica Stop separating by race. Keeping those kind of statistics is only keeping racism in the forefront. Do better
NBCAsianAmerica Does that surprise anyone he's the only Asian running.
NBCAsianAmerica Big surprise
NBCAsianAmerica I wonder why? Hmm
NBCAsianAmerica Then, by YOUR metric, PeteButtigieg is getting huge gay/lesbian dollars, SenSanders mega Jewish dollars, ewarren insane female dollars, ad infinitum. How about this? AndrewYang is getting AMERICAN dollars b/c he appeals to AMERICANS! There. THAT was easy. 😒
NBCAsianAmerica And of what use is this useless data? Of course Asian Americans will support Yang. And snow is white. And Trump is avoiding a war with Iran in Iraq! WTF? Are we having fun yet?
NBCAsianAmerica Four out of five (79%) of Asian Americans polled voted for Hillary Clinton, I bet Hillary got way more donations from Asian American.
NBCAsianAmerica Wow, not only finally admitting AndrewYang actually exists, they even spelled his name right this time 👏 YangMediaBlackout YangGang Yang2020 PollThePeople
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica Thanks for the lousy article.😒 NBCNews. I specially like the argument about why wealthy asian Americans who support Yang do not represent the whole community. If you are gonna use that to diminish Andrew's appeal u got to be kidding me u can apply that to any candidate.👎
NBCAsianAmerica And don’t ask me to be “objective”. Oh you mean “view the circumstance from the lens of the colonizer”? Sorry I dont have “Brad, Matt & Ryan” to choose from.
NBCAsianAmerica Yang was only 1 of 3 candidates to attend the Democratic AAPI forum. Great to know the other 17 don’t want our vote. YangGang TulsiGabbard
NBCAsianAmerica Better look into the Chinese! Chinese! Chinese! Oh Wait it's Russia! Russia! Russia! Fair News or Fake News Throw in Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine 🙌
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica I hope NBC and DNC will show some respect for people of color especially asian Americans now.
NBCAsianAmerica DomenicoNPR, no clear path to presidency because your blocking the view. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica .. in exchange for more coverage, Yang shud promise nbc that he'll be nicer to hrc and the establishment and more sensational about trump, then immediately break his promise so he cud apologize about it and do it again and apologize again and onward ..
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica Great article. Thanks Kimmy! Interesting that the AAPI favorability study referenced showing 40% of respondents say they didn't know enough about Yang was from OCTOBER. To me, these 2 data points suggest the progress Yang has made even this quarter and now must continue to make.
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica NBC News is as good at reporting as Fox News...
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica I think this would only be news if it weren't the case
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica I love all the people acting like this is expected when Biden/Sanders have way more black support than Harris / Booker ever got.
AndrewYang NBCAsianAmerica Yaaaaaassssss!!!
NBCAsianAmerica Why does this matter?
NBCAsianAmerica CCP feed him well
NBCAsianAmerica Hes finished.
NBCAsianAmerica Isn’t this inherently racist?
NBCAsianAmerica People like candidates they can relate to. I will vote for ANY Democrat just to get Donny J Trump out of office...even though Donny will have to be forcibly removed
NBCAsianAmerica Which gives him a false confidence as to an actual outcome
NBCAsianAmerica Learn from President Trump would be good for his future, not Democrats!
NBCAsianAmerica Well that’s racist.
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica You don't say?
NBCAsianAmerica He was sent by Satan of the Communist Party of China. Ask the American people to stay away from him!
NBCAsianAmerica What do you sour mean by 'Asian American donors may not perfectly reflect the Asian American voting population.' He is obviously the leader of Asian American and Asian will vote for him finally. Do you think Asian will vote establishment dog Pete?
NBCAsianAmerica keep on going!
NBCAsianAmerica Hey, MSNBC, disable your irrelevant schedules tweets tonight. Who cares?
NBCAsianAmerica Wonder why
NBCAsianAmerica good for him 👍 good luck but you make sure you stand on the democratic ways to make it orelse won't last very long.
NBCAsianAmerica hmph...wonder why that is...
NBCAsianAmerica He's weaving those dollars into a much-needed straight jacket. AndrewYang deranged
NBCAsianAmerica I thought Asians were supposed to be really good at math.
