Why Don't Chinese-Americans Matter in the Election?

Chinese-Americans account for 1.5 to 2 percent of the population in the United States, while Asian-Americans account for 6 percent. In comparison, Jews account for only about 2 percent, but the positions that the two ethnic groups occupy in the eyes of American politicians are not comparable. 

Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York mayor, once rushed to the hospital to visit a Jewish child who had been hit by a car on his way home from school. Meanwhile, the elderly sister and brother-in-law of Henry Chang-Yu Lee, one of the world’s most prominent forensic scientists and a man who has helped solve many criminal cases, were beaten up in their apartment by officers who had broken in by mistake. The New York police simply made a phone call to apologize.
