For the record, I hate Donald Trump. What a bigot.
I'm glad NBC, Telemundo, Macy's, Serta, Televisa, PGA and others have dropped him. I can't help remember, though, a few years ago when Trump said something derogatory about Asians. I remember signing a petition that I wouldn't shop at Macy's until they removed Trump's line from Macy's. It never happened.
I also remember all those hateful things he said about a Korean lady.
Fast forward a few years later and everyone is quick to dump him after insulting Hispanics. There are 54 million Hispanics in the US, while 16 million Asians. On average, Asians have a higher HH income, $69,000 versus Hispanics at $42,700 (source: Geoscape).
Do you think that companies like Macy's would have been quicker to dump Trump a few years ago had Asians been more vocal or been a larger group versus Hispanics today? Do you think Asians are less vocal?
Stand up and be counted. There is strength in numbers, and strength in buying power.
