A rebel is a person that breaks the mold, a person that stands by their beliefs no matter what. If we are too look for the most rebellious we ought to look to the most stereotypical and pick the minority opposition. We can't say a Democrat or a Republican is a rebel, they're a virtual tie in numbers. We cant say a white liberal or white conservative for the same reason. You can't find a better stereotype than 95% supporters of one party. In our society, the extreme minority is an African American Conservative.
Their mascot should be a black woman with a powdered wig.

Technically, in the American context, there are even fewer Asian conservatives, especially if you take into account differences in population. (Roughly 10.4 million black conservatives vs. 3.1 million asian conservatives)
Of course you could race that stuff down any number of minority groups.

Your gross numbers don't really impress me considering there are more blacks than asian's in our country. You may as well compare them to eskimo's. If 40% of African American pregnancies didn't end in abortion, there would be a lot more conservatives and even more liberals in this country.
95% of blacks voted for Obama and just under half the whites voted against him. Which group is racist? If 95% of whites voted for the white guy over the black guy, racism would be obvious. In fact, the white population was virtually an even split for the black guy. You can't call an even split racist....95% says something.

If you observe the graph, there are not just fewer Asian conservatives by absolute number but by percentage as well.

I'll accept liberal productive members of society any day. Asians are second only to Muslims in America for per-capita income. They also have the highest high school graduation rate. They must be a generous people. Weird how my daughter's school is 2% Asian yet they have the highest test scores. The second highest are whites who comprise about 30%. Next are Hispanics followed by blacks. What is really confusing is the ones who have English as a second language manage to score higher than the blacks. Of course, their poor performance will be blamed on "bad schools" and "lack of opportunity" despite the fact they are sharing a classroom with achievers.
