> What exactly does this mean? Are they evangelical baptists, libertarians, reactionaries, nationalist, homophobic, misogynist, racist,

Wonder if there is a nicer way to ask the person to clarify their point without listing all those things.

Or do you honestly think there is a large number Chinese evangelical baptists who come to SF and work in tech companies.

There is a quite sizable evangelical Chinese immigrant community in the Bay Area. Whether they work in tech, I don't know.

Well, not all the terms I used were negative :) my point was, I have zero context giving me an ability to consider what a conservative chinese foreign national would look like, value wise.

For instance, I consider myself a technological conservative—I tend to not believe in the inherent good of technological investment. I would not describe myself as “a conservative”. It is a word generally only useful in a one dimensional context.

Amongst the H1B visa workers? That would be surprising.

It's an interesting topic actually, (and off-topic here) how likely are immigrant communities to switch their traditional religious affiliation after moving to US. In know a Korean family who became Catholic, and often wonder if it is a common thing and if there are patterns.
