You haven't heard? We "don't pay attention to politics"...we "think all politicians are crooks"..."whats the point of voting, it will never help any Asian!!"...WE "all just came fresh off the boat"...WE "can't speak English"...Our "Chinky eyes are too small to read the fine print" ...Yeah I have heard many explanations. Guess what??? We voted for OBAMA.
