I'm always amazed at how obsessed certain people are with "race" (aka ethnicity) in this country. I'm very well aware of the tough racial history and I'm not saying that kind of ethnical stats shouldn't be made, but frankly, shouldn't we be talking about social classes instead? This last presidential election was a great display of what I am talking about from both side. While one side was demonizing non-WASP, the other side banked its whole strategy on the fact that african-americans would surely vote for them (which is, when you think about it, basically saying that most people's vote cannot be predicted as they may flip/flop and are usually 50/50 +/- 5%, except for african-americans of course ...). And of course the next day, they were blamed responsible for the defeat.
