Thatcherite Tory minorities? You are hereby welcomed into the Conservative/Republican Party. As foot soldiers the objective is to place California's 54 ECV in the GOP column.
Conservatives, for all their resort to populism at election time, generally tend to be about preserving the ruling elites' hold on power, and more generally the social status quo. That is unlikely to endear them to minorities, for whom a priority is precisely to change the social status quo so that they can improve their position in it.

They weren't doing all that well when they were subjected to discriminatory legislation. Anti-Asian racism used to be rife in the US, and I doubt many of them miss those days when "traditional values" included keeping the Chinks in their place.It depends on which minorities, Asians do quite well in the US.

Yes, that time which conservatives tell us was so much better than today.That was what? 50 or more years ago?

Umm. They ended up having about, or slightly more, no votes than the White community did.
You seem to have this chronic habit of being wrong on things like this. It's really odd. http://www.sacbee.com/elections/story/1372009.html
People can be the victims of discrimination in the past and still be conservative. Moreover, the vast majority of Asian Americans came to the US long after this discrimation was over.
Most Korean Americans probably aren't even aware of what 19th Century Chinese immigrants faced and Korean Americans overwhelmingly vote Republican.
Well, d'uh--while the discrimination was in place, they weren't allowed to immigrate.Moreover, the vast majority of Asian Americans came to the US long after this discrimation was over.

And the idea that many Blacks voted for Obama because he was Black is ridiculous.
