Some NYC Chinese-Americans waking up to the realities of Democrat rule

After voting a Democrat ticket for a couple of generations, the truth has finally become too obvious to ignore, and Republicans are gaining ground.

Anti-business mandates, festering homelessness issues and crumbling public education have fueled discontent. Asian parents were infuriated last year by the city’s decisions to phase out its Gifted and Talented program, a move they say will harm their high-achieving kids, and by proposals to eliminate the admission test to the city’s elite high schools. Asians won 53.7 percent of all seats to these top-performing schools in last year’s round of acceptances. 

Soft-on-crime policies, including those authored by new Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, appear to be the top concern.

“People are afraid because we know [Bragg] is going to let violent criminals go free and Asians around the city will be the victims,” said Phil Wong, 55, a Queens businessman and political activist.

And this ought to worry the Dems:

One Manhattan Chinatown election district flipped from blue to red in November, while GOP mayoral challenger Curtis Sliwa beat Democrat and citywide winner Eric Adams in 10 assembly districts with large Asian constituencies.

“Our party better start giving more of a s–t about #aapi (Asian-American Pacific Islander) voters and communities,” Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) tweeted on election night in response to Sliwa’s victories.

Interestingly, even the worst of the media seems to have given up blaming anti-Asian hate crimes on white supremacists, probably because it’s become too difficult to keep identifying the same guy, Bruno Sokolowski, from Staten Island, as the perpetrator. “Doesn’t he have any friends?” one TV reporter was overheard (by FWIW) complaining to a colleague.
