I would hope it is to the country you chose to pledge an Oath of Allegiance to in order to obtain the new citizenship and all of the benefits it has granted
Re: Poll: Distrust of Asian Americans is rising
#23Insofar as minorities seek greater legal representation and rights, "Asian American" makes perfect sense as a political identity. If you're Burmese, why not throw in with Thai and Chinese Americans? However, I'm unsure if anything tangible can be discerned about Americans' attitudes toward "Asian Americans." There are simply too many cultures represented that share not enough in common. Even "Hispanics" (a vexing, in…
I recently learned that Americans group people from the Indian subcontinent under the category 'Asian'.
I am therefore apparently an Asian, something that never occurred to me.

Circumstances matter. Would you hold someone responsible for not keeping an oath to the Reich?
How about Trump?

Hopefully you can support whatever country allows the freedom to be critical of its motives and question its leaders.

Look again. Their very own data doesn’t support your attempt to blame those darned racist conservatives. The parent comment link allows you to view responses by political affiliation and answers by conservatives skew greatly to a more “positive” view of Asian Americans over the past 12 months. Just a reminder to check your biases. Everything you don’t like isn’t caused by the other political party.
You're right, but you don't make a string claim or cite evidence, thus the downvotes. Here's the facts: On the question of "Asian Americans as a group are more loyal to their country of origin than to the United States", Democrats experienced a 60% increase year over year in agreement (22=>35), whereas Republicans experienced only a 36% increase (24=>33). On the question of "Asian Americans as a group are at least pa…
Where are you seeing this? I don't see anywhere in the report where it breaks those two questions down by party.
Also worth observing that the report shows 35% of Republicans wouldn't be comfortable with an Asian American President, vs 20% of Democrats.

That (circumstances) was not entered into the equation, so I took it to mean all things being equal. Otherwise how could one possibly ponder which side until those circumstances are known, there was no hint that circumstances where being considered

The one who's less guilty of humanitarian violations in that scenario? Don't support America, Russia, or China when they act to make peoples' lives worse. It's like having two really good friends (husband and wife) and the husband starts beating the wife. You're not going to support him just because he's the closer friend. With that said, it's important to remember that many people will do just this and immigrants in a country can wrongly support their origin country. cough supporting Russia right now cough

#29It's what happens when there's a world power feeling threatened by a rising upstart. Be skeptical, folks.
What, is China the rising upstart? China was doing amazing tech and had an amazing society for thousands of years before America was even discovered.
