I found Kaufmann’s piece quite insightful, having heard discussions from Asians about this exact topic. There seems to exist a pattern in many ethnic groups where the offspring of immigrants go off to college and assimilate into the dominant liberal milieu. So now we have working-class Asian immigrants voting Republican, and their educated children going voting Democrat, as being Democrat is a key component of being in the affluent educated cosmopolitan managerial class. I've discussed this paradox of valorizing higher education yet hating the loss of culture that results from it myself: https://societystandpoint.substack.com/p/immigrant-valorizing
And as for intermarriage, the rates among Asian Americans are also enormous. Much of that is to Jews. The mixed Asian-Jewish child is commonplace in Brooklyn’s Park Slope and other neighborhoods full of affluent professionals. In fact, this dynamic was mentioned in a Tablet article years ago: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/community/articles/tribalism-trumped-love
