Related: About this forumNew Poll Shows Sanders with Strong Lead Among Asian Americans- March 30, 2016
BURLINGTON, Vt. Following Saturdays landslide wins in Hawaii and Washington, a new poll of California voters shows U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders leading his Democratic opponent 43 percent to 35 percent among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in California (USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times). Asian Americans alone make up 12% of the likely electorate in California and 66% of the electorate in Hawaii.
Bernies message is resonating with AAPI communities across the country. We saw an amazing Hawaii win for the Sanders campaign on Saturday, said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. He had very little name recognition in Hawaii compared to Hillary Clinton. She had the endorsement of nearly all of Hawaiis former Governors, former members of Congress, and the other three members of our congressional delegation. It was so inspiring to see how people came out all across the state to vote, on every island, and made sure their voices were heard. We stood together and sent a message that we want to bring our government back into the hands of the people; and that we must end the costly interventionist wars weve been engaging in for the past fifteen years, and focus on investing in our own communities and rebuilding our own nation.

Yeah, but they aren't Southern black people - the only minority David Brock counts.
