Local politicians are made to cater to the local constituents.Asians have their own little isolated communities like Little Tokyo, Little Saigon, Little Tokyo etc... They got those communities by placing pressure on their local politicians to designate a certain area for their community. Hell, in some communities across the country Asians even have their own police force. So again, political power means everything. Without the help of your local politicians who's going to handle the contracts for the city to make sure your people get a fair chance in obtaining those contracts?
I guess you don't have a problem with seeing black people politically obsolete in the future.
i dont think that is the right way of looking at it, economics and politics are separate things, yes they interact with each other, but they are separate, you can have one with or without the other, ideally you want both but detroit is a perfect example of how far focusing on political power takes you, black people controlled detroit politically but had no real economic plan and no real economic power, asians on the other hand have zero political power
