At one point Yishan writes something like the various social media execs may vote, identify, and donate as Left much more than Right, but they are also typically white men. The implication seemingly being that white men aren't Lefties? Never mind that people from China or India are dramatically overrepresented in tech companies, more so than white people and those demographics tend to be Left leaning. Yishan's argument seems to boil down to "Trust me, they aren't biased."

- ALittleLight 5y agoIn the United States, where Indian and Chinese people tend to vote Democrat, and where Silicon Valley and Twitter are situated.
- AussieWog93 5y agoAhh yep, I forgot about US partisan politics for a sec there.
- halamadrid 5y agoA couple of things that I have observed: 1. A lot of the Indians and Chinese are on visas means no right to vote (ex: Twitter CEO) 2. Those that can vote - cares more about paying less taxes than anything else which usually means voting Republican, except if the candidate is a far right fanatic
- baskethead 5y agoIndians and Asians tend to vote Republican. Indians are the riches ethnic demographic in the US, almost 3X the average wage of white people.
- yarabarla 5y agoMaybe in some enclaves, but in general that's not the case. At least 2/3 of Asians voted for Biden [0]. Indians tend to be even more Democratic [1].
