A Historic Victory in San Francisco
From New America Media: Ed Lee’s win in last Tuesday’s mayoral race in San Francisco is a major milestone for Chinese voters, but not all members of the community are celebrating the victory as their own. For Daniel Li, a San Francisco resident who came to the United States from China nearly 30 years ago, Lee is among a number of Chinese political leaders who were either born in the United States or came here at a very young age. The result, he says, is that there’s a disconnect between these leaders and the community, which is made up largely of immigrant Chinese.
