I believe it.  Once I car pooled with a Mexican American co-worker.  He was pulled over by the cops and they TOTALLY treated him differently.  Used profanity and was really rude. Here's another funny story.  I was going through chick pics on my phone while driving.  A cop pulled me over for...

I can only definitely say that it happened once because the cop specifically told me he would let me off because "USC people are smart." I can't vouch for the other times I was let off, but I suspect it was because I went to a school that those cops liked... but I can't say for sure.  It...

I had no idea that Irvine's "old white voters" were that far off the deep end.  I am naturally skeptical of that claim though.

Uh, if he's going to let me off on a traffic violation and cite the fact that I went to USC as the reason he is doing so, then yeah. I mean, there are various things you have in your social arsenal that help you out in life.  Education is one.  Looks is another.  If you don't have one, you...

Fully agree.  Just because I didn't mention that specifically doesn't mean I don't concur.

I dunno man.  Ultimately, what may happen is Mimi will get voted out by a more active and charismatic Dem.  The 45th district will turn blue for two years, the GOP will learn their lesson and get a candidate that will actually get out of his or her office every once in a while to ENGAGE voters. ...

Well, uh... I am Asian American.  I have an MBA from a top 25 institution.  I've been given the pass for traffic violations by cops three consecutive times.  The last one was from a white cop who said, "not giving you a ticket this time because you went to USC so I think you're smarter than...

I may reluctantly vote for her, but I want other options.

Keep the 45th District red!

Well, those older white voters aren't gonna live forever.  I bought my freak'in house from one of those "older white voters."  He sold and went off to Arizona.  My Chinese American neighbor also bought his University Park home from one of those "older white voters" who's Washington state living...

Looks like Irvine Asians ponied up, rented buses, did all the work, and took most of the heat: https://nextshark.com/asian-americans-irvine-draw-outrage-protesting-homeless-shelters/ :P

New here to TalkIrvine.  I came here from the 39th District (Buena Park/Fullerton), which was also perennially Republican.  We had Ed Royce who was Chairman of the Foreign Relations committee.  He was also very involved in the Asian Community there.  Buena Park/Fullerton is also very similar...
