Asian Americans

recession, depression, and murder

Posted on January 30, 2009 by Denis

I just learned yesterday of a tragic story about a family murder-suicide in Southern California by a Kaiser hospital lab technician. The man was having economic problems, owes the IRS $15,000, and behind in mortgage and credit card payments, and all of that just caved in on him when he got fired from his job for fraud (he lied about his income so he can get cheaper child care). He went on to kill his 5 children, his wife, and then turns the gun on himself.

2/3 of Vietnamese Americans support McCain: reason?

UPDATE: Shandon Phan, 29, the Founder of Asian Americans for McCain, and Jessica Vu, 22, a native of San Jose and a student at Harvard Law School, shed light on why the Vietnamese community supports McCain in their NPR article.

A recent survey done by several colleges including USC, Cal, Rutgers and Riverside shows that the majority of Asian-American voters support Obama over McCain, except for Vietnamese Americans.
