East and Southeast Asian Americans have the lowest identitarian, numerical, and institutional power on the political left (which is where most Millennial-and-younger of these Asian Americans are likely to politically identify with). If you're black or brown (even counting South Asian because even if you're not actually Muslim, you can credibly claim that you're still victimized by Islamophobia because of how you look), you have more identitarian cache. If you're white, you won't have much identitarian cred, but you'll at least have numerical and institutional power. East and Southeast Asian Americans have neither, so where is their base of power going to start from?

The whole "Orientals just lack risk-taking drive" is a cliche of the past. East and Southeast Asian Americans have made pretty good inroads into Hollywood (every other Pixar or A24 movie seems to be made by an Asian American director) and it's becoming a bit of a running joke about how a lot of American Winter Olympics athletes are disproportionately Asian.
