Yes, they did it again. @nytopinion conducted a focus group of 12 Asian Americans that is wildly unrepresentative of who Asian Americans are.

Two-thirds were East Asian. And only 1 was South Asian.

But shame on them for making the same big mistake once again, acting as if East Asians are the majority of Asian America. [2/x]
