Isaac Chotiner of The New Republic claims that Obama has not made a significant effort to capture the sub-sub-group voters. In the California primary on February 5th, Hillary Clinton won by a 3-1 margin in the Asian American vote. More publicized was her victory of the Latino vote. Chotiner offers up various reasons for Obama's inability to get more Asian American support: the Clinton's popularity in the '90's, California's battles over affirmative action, and immigrants' desire for stability over "change."

The most interesting reason to me was that in his effort to become a post-racial candidate, Obama uses dichotomous language which can often leave out other minorities. What do you think is the real reason?
