Yep. That's just a silly right-wing trope.

While I don't know any Cubans, I've read that there are a lot of similarities to Chinese Americans immigrant within the older generations, due to experiencing true Communism. I used to work with a guy from Czechoslovakia that was the same way.
There's probably some truth to that.

And today, it's different. Younger Cuban Americans and Vietnamese Americans for that matter(who grew up or were born in the USA) don't care for the emigre concern with Communism, which often takes extreme forms - like Ly Tong, who pulls a lot of crazy stunts:

Ly Tong: Vietnamese ‘freedom fighter’ guilty of all but most serious offense – The Mercury News

And of course, today's China isn't very Communist these days, so that's gone away as a politcal boogeyman.

But none of that stops republicans from attacking South American illegal immigrants and fully ignoring Asian illegal immigrants.

So Mexicans are South American?


Much like Trump feels Puerto Ricans are the worse kind of Mexicans...

Trump's plans puts just as much of a burden on small business as Clinton's fan. If small business really cared about their interest, they would straight up vote for libertarian candidates or another third party that promotes free market principals.

I disagree. I live in the South and voting is very racially divided. And you think this is about socialism vs independence, go to Kentucky and West Virginia. High rates of welfare dependency among Whites in those states. There is alot of tribalism that goes on in voting in the South.

Asia's a big continent. Remember, they're lumping Indians and Pakistanis into that category as well. I don't know a single south Asian naturalized US citizen who ISN'T a Republican.

Maybe you don't understand what we mean by tribalism then. Tribalism is where an ethnic or racial group only votes for things that are good for their group/tribe as a whole and it's not necessarily in the best interests of our nation and our citizens as a whole.
