San Francisco has five times the Asian population of the typical American city. So why is the community's political power waning?
On special occasions like Lunar New Year, my Grandma Ee would sit me down to impart important life lessons — and good luck — for the coming year’s worth of moon orbits.
For a city in which Asians make up 37% of the population — Chinese Americans alone account for more than one out of five — many in the community felt like we finally had seats at the table. Better yet, those seats were proportional to our community presence. True, many in San Francisco’s political class will happily do a Chinatown press conference during election years or campaign times, but otherwise seems quite okay with the status quo.
The problem is that election influence doesn’t necessarily translate into legislative, budgetary and governing influence. “The first press conference held for the recall was in Chinatown and was specific to Chinese American and Chinese media,” said Lily Ho, one of the recall organizers, who is now a candidate for San Francisco’s Democratic County Central Committee.
