Im Samoan and Ive always leaned to the right. Why do folks give me this weird..."oh...but...i mean aren't you suppose to be a Democrat?" type stare. I had a couple of Democrat Canvass folks stop by my house. And the reaction on their face was priceless. They were white but were confused and kind of bewildered when they were told by Me and my wife (who is a first Gen Haitian American) that we were registered Republicans.

Should it matter what race defines your beliefs or religion? People used to give me weird stares for being Muslim.

Hell, people were surprised I was an Asian American serving in the US Military.

I'm conservative in many areas but refuse to identify with either party, You are absolutely right about how Democrats assume that people of color will fall under their domain.

SPC Eddie "Nemo" Aiumu, the Democrats have divided up people by race for so long that they cannot understand it when they run across individual choice and our common shared humanity rather than the group identity that they expect.

The interesting thing to me is that they like to call conservatives racist while their entire world revolves around race and other identity divisions.

It is refreshing to see individuals like you and your wife that think for themselves from base principles rather than being led into division by group identity.

Thank you for posting this – it made my day.
