“…The four largest national origin groups comprising the sample are Chinese (32%), Indian (16%), Filipina/o (14%), and Japanese (12%). The CMPS has been used in recent studies of minority political engagement, including examinations of the political behavior of Asian Americans and explorations of how religious denominations affect political preferences across race (Phoenix and Arora 2018; Wong 2018). In addition to its large AAPI sample, the CMPS is an ideal data set to use because of its wide range of questions about religious affiliation and practices, racial identity, and political participation.…”

Research consistently emphasizes the importance of religious institutions for influencing political action among Asian Americans. The social capital literature offers two theoretical explanations for why churches increase political activity: bridging capital between different groups and bonding capital among similar groups. The latter argues that individuals who attend racially homogeneous churches are more participatory. This paper expands on these accounts by examining another aspect of bonding. That is, how does similarity in political views among church members affect Asian Americans' political participation? Results from the 2016 Collaborative Multi-Racial Post-Election Survey show that Asian Americans who attend politically homogeneous churches are more likely to vote and participate in conventional activities. The effects of racial homogeneity are limited once taking political homogeneity into consideration. These findings provide evidence that political homophily within religious organizations may facilitate the bonding of social capital between racial/ethnic minorities, and this homophily is indeed salient to democratic participation.

“…Consequently, threatening media framing of Latina/os has pushed native-born whites toward supporting restrictive immigration policies (Massey 2014). Asian Americans have faced a long history of discrimination and social exclusion (Kim 1999) and, in many cases, continue to deal with intense discrimination and barriers to inclusion (Chang 1993; Phoenix and Arora 2018; Yogeeswaran and Dasgupta 2010). However, the dominant political and media frame of Asian Americans is often of the “model minority” (Junn 2007).…”

This article advances the argument that the effects of demographic change on individual-level immigration policy preferences is dependent on the level of segregation in the individuals’ local context. Increases in the immigrant population in highly segregated counties should increase opposition to immigration because opportunities for contact and exposure are missing and group differences are emphasized. Meanwhile, population increases in more integrated counties should lead to an alleviation of interethnic tensions due to more frequent opportunities for contact. Furthermore, whites may react differently to changes in racial/ethnic composition of a local context depending on the particular group moving into the area because some groups are closer to fulfilling Allport’s equal status contact condition than others. The empirical analysis finds strong support for the first assertion that population growth of Latina/os and Asian Americans in highly segregated areas results in support for restrictive immigration policy, while population growth in more integrated areas results in support for permissive immigration policy. The results are inconclusive for the second assertion as the effects of Asian American and Latina/o population growth are so highly dependent on segregation levels.

“…Whereas voting is one important form of political involvement, scholars have challenged the field to construct political participation more broadly and explore action beyond the ballot box (Lien et al 2001). During a 20-year period, scholarship in Asian American politics has examined a wide range of activities, including voting, donating to political organizations, contacting government officials, protesting, and signing petitions (Chan and Phoenix 2020;Lien 2010;Masuoka, Ramanathan, and Junn 2019;Phoenix and Arora 2018;Sadhwani 2020;Sui and Paul 2017;Wong et al 2011). Although existing work has made important contributions toward understanding Asian American political participation, much of this research overlooks the digital space.…”
