There is a common bond between people of the same color/ethnicity.
We are now “hyphenated” Americans, and have no such bond.
I think that pride in our country could unite us in a common bond.
However, we seem destined to destroy ourselves from within, pitting faction against faction.
America, as a melting pot, was once our strength, maybe now it is our weakness...let us pray.

I personally think you're digging a bit too deep into this issue...
I, like other consumers, often go out for simply the best bang for the buck - if I can get a car with better mileage per gallon, better quality, requires fewer repairs, and drives just as fine - I'll take it over the ones with poorer qualities than that. And that is my general concensus with Asian cars.
My family has had a wide range of cars from Mercedes to BMW to Pontiac to Buicks to Toyotas to Nissans to Infiniti and so on. For the same price, we have found Asian cars to last the longest and have given more bang for the buck.
It's as simple as that - not any notion of having some Asian roots or undermining america or wahtever. It's simple supply and demand and free market: the consumers tend to go to the better product for the same money.
