go to a tea party event and see how it is overwhelmingly white and then see how whites 55% fort McCain was not enough because of minority growth and then tell me how come whiteness has zip to do with whether conservatives win
you may not like that fact but it doesn’t change it
we have pandered our britches off to minorities for 3 generations
most simply don’t buy it
by all means put minorities out front and center for the media but it doesn’t change diddly..90% or more of tea partiers are peckerwoods
average tea partier is white and old....which doesn’t bode well for the future does it?
I think I understand your point, but 75% of Americans are white, so it’s not surprising that the majority of Tea Partiers are also. If you filter in a bias toward middle class and employed or employable, and more educated, you’re going to end up with an older demographic as well. In this country, those qualities will also give you a whiter one, but in other countries (Japan, say, or India) it won’t. I’m sure the middle class in any country would be particularly incensed by a meddlesome, confiscatory government. Race oughtn’t to enter into it.
