DK: Bernie Leads Among CA Asians; Has More Non-White Than White Support

#BernieNotSoWhite: Bernie LEADS poll among CA Asians, has MORE non-white than white support.

You keep talking about this poll. This poll...I do not think it means what you think it means.

Sometimes the good news is buried under what others are saying is bad news. ......

But look closer at those numbers.

In that just-released LA Times poll of California voters taken before Bernie’s Saturday string of Western blow-outs, Bernie beats Hillary among California Asians, winning 43%-35%. Asian-Americans make up 15% of California’s population, and vote almost entirely Democratic.

Further, and I’m not making this up, Bernie does better overall right now among non-whites (39%) than whites (37%) in California. #BernieSoWhite? Nope, not in Cali.

Black Californians? 39% of them poll for Bernie. That’s THREE NINE, THIRTY-NINE. Latinos? 37% for Bernie. Not good enough yet, but higher numbers than we’ve seen in any primary so far, even better than the best projection of what percent of Latino voters Bernie may have won in Nevada, or black voters he won in Michigan or Illinois.

Those numbers mean Clinton has comfortable advantage

The Asian numbers are still close compared to Clintons lead among hispanics.

Which is exactly why Hillary wants to suppress the message by not doing the debates..
BTW, I live in SoCal and have seen many Bernie bumper stickers and it appears a diverse electorate will indeed be voting for Bernie in CA. BTW, I have not seen a single Hillary bumper sticker.

Sanders is doing surprisingly badly amongst White people in California. In the previous poll from a week ago, he only won them by about five points. In this poll, he's doing even worse with them.

In many other states, Sanders has won the overwhelming majority of White voters, once they were exposed to his message. In some states, he got 90% of the White vote. Whereas he's had a harder time with Latino and especially Black voters. So this tells me he has a lot of potential to increase his numbers in California.

For dividing us by race.

That might now start posting how the Korean members of my family are not a "real" Minority, nor are my many other Asian cousins of differing cultures.

I also expect many "Asian privilege threads" and numerous Asians are really just white young racist bros, just not European ones to look forward to.

I just can't win, being multiracial, they may have to soon start taking their racial division tactics literally and have me drawn and quartered. That will teach me not to seek unity, peace, and equality as an egalitarian, just divide and conquer me literally and bury the pieces separately to ensure that true division is achieved and the Brock tactic a success.
