I'm probably going off of too much ancedotal evidence but I've noticed an overrepresentation among MENA people in Antifa for example, atleast in a place like the US and Canada(in mainland Europe it's only natural since there's more of them compared to other minorities), as opposed to blacks/hispanics, or Indians/Chinese in Canada. Maybe Europe is the complete opposite or maybe I'm just flat out wrong, but yeah, when I hear a person like Cenk Uygur speak, I hear a person genuinely leftist and concerned about everyone, when I hear a person like Simone Sanders or Cornel West I hear black ethnocentrists concerned about their own kind first and foremost. I really have not met many East Asian leftists, other than those types of "azn pride" immigrants who basically do the exact thing as the situation I described before, using so called social justice to further ethnocentrism. The lower classes of Indians(in the west too) are outright as conservative as Muslims, and straight up more ethnocentric(I don't think anyone is more ethnocentric than Indians tbh). I guess if you include rather apolitical centre-left people and obviously centrists who share a lot of leftist views this isn't the case.
