The word "minority" has the connotation of "underpriviliged". While there are poor Asians, the median Asian American income is $20k higher than the median US income ($80k vs $60k).
Also, historically Asian Americans actually have voted more conservative (over 2/3 voted Republican as late as the 80s). The shift towards democrats was more recent, and is considered to be a product of anti-immigrant Republican policy and tensions with China (large segment of Asian Americans are Chinese).
