To be fair, there is a theoretically color-blind thread of conservatism which is supposed to go something like "we have the best interests of all Americans at heart?" By default, this includes minorities.

What would be your method of approaching a particular minority group, without promising them something special? How does one dialogue with a minority group, without pandering to them. It seems a bit different than other interest groups, say gun-owners, who have the weight of burdensome legislation to complain about.

It occurs to me that there is the Thomas Sowell approach of repeatedly point out that things like housing regulations, cigarette, and gasoline taxes hurt the poor (and therefore, minorities) the most.

Simple. Treat us like you would yourselves.
