Hi, I'm in Asia. Can't speak for Asian Americans but Asian Asians all watch CNN and hate Trump, except for the few that are willing to whisper things to me when they think nobody else can hear.
They all hate China, but... They don't hate China. Their eyes light up when they tell you that soon nobody there will need to learn English because the world will be speaking Chinese soon. Whenever China has big news they're happy.
In their next breath they say they hate communist China though. I think it's just that Chinese wherever they're from, should be successful, even if they're the evil commie kind.
Asians are also REALLY REALLY REALLY indoctrinated into group think. Their cultures are all collectivist. If one of them that's important says something, guess what... 99% of them now think it too.
You think Americans are bad with groupthink and being brainwashed by the TV... You haven't seen anything. People on this side of the world just accept that as culture. Americans at least don't think that's literally part of culture, even though they're highly brainwashed into groupthink too. Our culture at least assumes that we like freedom and inviduality.
America drives me nuts though because everyone SAYS they're unique and individuals, but really they're almost all brainwashed fools going along with trends and groupthink.
Over in Asia though... Herd mentality all the way!
If you can steer them in a positive direction they'll be a powerful force, but good luck with that.
