The point's not that the Republican party is racist (though they might be). The point is that the Republican party is mostly white people supporting the needs and desires of other white people.
- paulddraper 10y agoIf that is your point, I don't see why you bothered making it. No comment about how well they do at "supporting needs and desires", but the Democratic party is also mostly white people. Turns out that's pretty common in a country of mostly white people.
- ivraatiems 10y agoWell, given that America is mostly white, it makes sense. But the Democratic party is also the party of the majority of non-white people, not just most non-white groups, but to my knowledge all of them. That says something. I bothered making it because understanding the demographics of an institution will help you understand its goals and behavior. I guess I'm not sure why you see no value in that.
- paulddraper 10y agoIt might be a rule of thumb, but it's hardly universal. Bush Sr. got 55% of the Asian vote compared to only 31% for the winning Clinton.
- ivraatiems 10y agoBill Clinton's last election was more than twenty years ago. Party composition and behavior has radically changed in that time.
