49% of asians voted Republican in 2014 as per exit polls. What we have seen recently is perhaps a transitory reaction to Drumpf.

In 2022, what percentage of asians do you see voting Republican? It could be high. Recent polls suggest that latinos are likely to be evenly split between Democrats and Republicans in 2022.

Chris, wanted to point out that what can be called "standardized testing" originated in China circa 2000 years ago. (I think Razib Khan has written about this history and maybe also Freddie De Boer.) Here is from wikipedia:

"The earliest evidence of standardized testing was in China, during the Han Dynasty,[5] where the imperial examinations covered the Six Arts which included music, archery, horsemanship, arithmetic, writing, and knowledge of the rituals and ceremonies of both public and private parts. These exams were used to select employees for the state bureaucracy. "
