Strange Fruit #157: Why Aren't There More Latino and Asian-American Elected Officials?: What percentage of your state's population is Latino, or Asian-American? Do Latinos and Asian-Americans make up that same percentage of your state's government? We can tell you, without knowing your state, the percentages are not the same. A new report from the New American Leaders Project (NALP) explains why. That organization is focused on training first- and second-generation immigrants to run for office. The report, "States of Inclusion: New American Journeys to Elected Office," shows there's much work left to be done. This week we talk with Christian Phillips, a research fellow with the NALP, about some of the barriers that keep Latinos and Asian-Americans from running for office - everything from a lack of funding to not seeing themselves as leaders. In our Juicy Fruit segment, we tackle the hashtag on everyone's timeline: #OscarsSoWhite. by Strange Fruit

The myth of the "Latino vote": The 2020 election left many pundits and pollsters scratching their heads about the increased support for Donald Trump among Latino voters. While these conversations seem new every election cycle, our guest this week argues they are part of a much larger story that goes back generations. Because of decades of investment and political courtship, as well as a nuanced and varied cultural identity, the Republican party has had a much longer and stronger bond with Hispanics.
