To answer the question "where?"; is.... Asians are too assimilated and successful to associate themselves as a political affinity group.  The closest thing you may find is an Asian Business Association.   College Amer-Asians Clubs are to either east Asian Food or just to socialize without trepadation.  Yet, there are liberal Asians and are most likely the ungrateful children of very conservative parents who paid for their expensive colleges.  Asians like all minorities were abused and the Japanese have even rebounded , without government support from the infamous "internment camps", imposed upon them by a Democratic  president.  Asian success is killing them, as they assimilate and marry out of their group.  Asians are now the highest earning ethnic group, if you exclude those fresh off the boat (FOB).  Malcomb Gladwell's Outliers analysis is about right.   For some their rapid assimilation meant adopting the traits and ideas of the dominate class, and for those Asians who are drawn into the academic environment, it means adopting the liberal mindset.  John Yoo is a smart guy and his detractors rather than formulating arguement resort to yells, hoots and other liberal declamations.   As a first generation Asian, whose mother talked about real torture under the Japanese in Burma, waterboarding is just a little mind trick where someone gets wet.
