For mentioning the Ugandan Asians and Florida Cubans together, the connection always seemed clear. The accidental way to get a more right-wing minority group is to get the refugees of communism, but Black Nationalism or Islamism can make a similar impression. The story of fleeing the resentful hordes and their revolutionary government will stick with a family.
It's true Americans are lucky our largest immigrant group is culturally adjacent and integrating as we speak but the number of them is hard to exaggerate in a place like Texas, where my general impression of them is blue-collar and not very political. There seem to be more Hispanic kids than NH White ones.
Interesting convo!
