Comments on: The New [Asian American] Face of the [California] Grand Old Party http://www.8asians.com/2007/04/28/the-new-asian-american-face-of-the-california-grand-old-party/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:50:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bertie http://www.8asians.com/2007/04/28/the-new-asian-american-face-of-the-california-grand-old-party/comment-page-1/#comment-8748 Bertie Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:08:06 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/2007/04/28/the-new-asian-american-face-of-the-california-grand-old-party/#comment-8748 <i>Sad to think that even Chinatown in Manhattan isn’t represented by an Asian American council member.</i> Say, for example, I, an Asian American, would want to run for office in a predominantly non-Asian American district. I would hope that my Asian-American-ness would not prevent me from representing everyone in the district. Likewise, if the representative in NYC representing Chinatown listens to Chinatown's residents' needs and helps them out, I don't see why race should be the DETERMINING factor. I have a relative ranked pretty high in California politics (I decline to say who, but he's a rock star), and he is quite adept at representing the population at large.
